A heat pump is an arithmetic problem before it is a purchase.
We model your house against your city's actual weather data and your last two years of utility bills, then tell you what a heat pump would cost to run here — including the months where gas is still cheaper. Sometimes the answer is: not yet.
- Modelled against your city weather data, not a brochure
- Your real utility bills, not a national average
- Rebate and financing paperwork prepared for you
- We say 'not worth it' when the model says so

What we do
Modelling first, hardware second
Most of the heat pump industry sells equipment and models afterwards, if at all. We reversed it: the modelling is a paid service that stands on its own, and roughly two in five people who buy it are told not to proceed yet.

Transparent pricing
Modelling has a price. So does the hardware.
Two things are for sale here and they are separate on purpose: the analysis, and the equipment. You can buy the first without ever buying the second, and about 38% of people do exactly that.

The $249 modelling fee is credited in full if you install with us within ninety days. If the model says wait — because your furnace is four years old, or the envelope needs work first — that is the recommendation you will get, and it is the one that keeps our reviews where they are.
Reviews
Including the people we turned away
4.9 from 148 reviews · 310 homes modelled, 190 installed
“They told me not to buy anything. My furnace is five years old and the model said the payback was past its remaining life. Two hundred and forty-nine dollars to be talked out of a fifteen-thousand-dollar purchase.”
“The year-one review showed we were 8% off the projection and they explained exactly why — we had run the changeover two degrees lower than modelled. They retuned it at no charge.”
“Every other quote was a brochure and a price. This was an eight-page report with a break-even month. My accountant read it and said it was better work than most business cases she sees.”

Modelled within 10%, or the review is not the end of it
At the twelve-month review we compare your actual bills against our projection. If we were out by more than 10% and the cause is our model rather than your usage, we retune the system at no charge and refund the modelling fee. It has happened four times in 190 installs.
FAQ
The questions worth asking
Want to sanity-check something first? Call Demo phone and ask for Iris — she would rather talk you out of a bad idea on the phone.
Do heat pumps work in your city?
Cold-climate models produce useful heat well below −20 °C, but efficiency falls as it gets colder and there is a point where gas is cheaper to run. That crossover point is exactly what the modelling finds for your house and your rates.
Why would you tell someone not to buy?
Because for about two in five houses the arithmetic does not work yet — usually a nearly new furnace or an envelope that should be improved first. Selling into those situations is how a trade earns a bad reputation.
What is dual fuel?
A heat pump and your existing gas furnace on one control, switching at a temperature we set from your actual rates. It also replaces your air conditioner, which is a large part of the value people forget to count.
What rebates exist?
Ask about payment options and any local incentive programs. Availability, eligibility and terms are confirmed for your location before work begins.
Find out what it would actually cost you to run
A modelling consultation is $249 and takes about two hours. You leave with an eight-page report, an operating-cost estimate by month, and no obligation whatsoever.
