Heat Pump FAQs
Q: How does a heat pump provide both heating and cooling?
A: Heat pumps move thermal energy rather than creating it. In winter, they extract ambient heat from outdoor air to warm your home; in summer, they reverse process to extract heat from inside and pump it outdoors.
Q: Do heat pumps work effectively during cold Metro Vancouver winters?
A: Yes, modern cold-climate heat pumps operate efficiently at outdoor temperatures well below freezing, making them perfectly suited for Metro Vancouver’s mild coastal winters.
Q: What provincial rebates are available for upgrading to a heat pump in BC?
A: Homeowners can access thousands of dollars in combined rebates from CleanBC, BC Hydro, and FortisBC when replacing fossil fuel or inefficient electric systems. Flex Plumbing assists with rebate documentation.
Q: What is the difference between ducted and ductless heat pumps?
A: Ducted heat pumps connect directly to existing forced-air furnace ductwork to distribute air throughout the home, whereas ductless mini-splits use individual wall-mounted indoor units to heat specific rooms or zones.
Q: How often should a residential heat pump filter and unit be serviced?
A: Washable indoor air filters should be cleaned every 1 to 3 months, and the entire system should receive professional maintenance once a year to clean coils and check refrigerant levels.
Q: Do I need a municipal electrical or gas permit for heat pump installation?
A: Yes, municipal permits are required in Richmond, Vancouver, Delta, Burnaby, and New Westminster. Flex Plumbing manages all necessary permit filings.
