Modelling first, then equipment, then a review of whether we were right. Six services and what each includes.
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.
01
Home energy modelling
We take your last twenty-four months of gas and electricity, run a heat-loss model of your house against your city's design temperature and typical year, and produce a month-by-month operating cost comparison between what you have and each option worth considering.
Twenty-four months of bills analysed
Heat loss modelled room by room
Month-by-month operating cost
Payback and break-even stated plainly
from
$249
per consultation
02
Dual-fuel heat pump
The configuration that fits most your city homes today. The heat pump handles heating above the changeover temperature and cooling all summer; the gas furnace takes over below it. We set that changeover against your actual rates, not a default.
Changeover set from your rates
Existing furnace retained as backup
Replaces your air conditioner too
Controls configured and documented

03
Cold-climate full electric
Going fully electric in this climate needs a house that can hold heat and a backup element sized for the coldest few days. We only recommend it when the envelope supports it — and the modelling report will show you exactly where the line is.
Envelope assessed before recommending
Backup element sized for design day
Panel capacity verified

04
Ductless retrofits
Older your city homes with hydronic heat or no usable ducting can still get heat pump heating and cooling through wall-mounted heads. Usually two or three heads carry the main living areas and the bedrooms.
No ductwork required
Works with existing boiler heat
Head placement planned with you
Line-set routing shown before install

Rebate & financing navigation
Ask about payment options and any local incentive programs. Availability, eligibility and terms are confirmed for your location before work begins.
Current programs confirmed at quote time
Applications prepared and filed
Tracked until the rebate is paid
Financing options explained honestly

06
Post-install performance review
Twelve months after install we take your bills again and compare them to what we projected. If we were off, you will hear it from us with the reason. That review is how the modelling gets better, and it is why the numbers on this site are worth anything.
Twenty-four months of your real utility data, not an average
An eight-page written report you keep regardless of what you decide
The changeover temperature calculated from current rates
Rebate applications prepared, filed and tracked to payment
A year-one performance review comparing bills against our model
A plain statement of the case against, not only the case for
What we do not do
Emergency no-heat service
Furnace-only replacements
Insulation and air sealing work
Solar and battery installation
No emergency service, no furnace-only work, no insulation contracting. We name the trades we trust and take nothing for the referral.
Optional analysis, priced separately
Added to a consultation when the house warrants it. Each one makes the model more accurate; none of them is required.
Blower door test
Measured air leakage for the model.
+$395
Thermal imaging survey
Where the heat is actually leaving.
+$260
Second modelling scenario
A different option, fully modelled.
+$120
Electrical panel assessment
Capacity checked by an electrician.
+$180
Landlord package
Modelling across three similar units.
$620
Annual heat pump service
Coil, charge, defrost, controls.
$189 / year
How it works
How the work is sequenced
1
Consultation
Two hours in your home with your utility bills. We measure, photograph and ask about comfort complaints.
2
The model
Your house against your city weather data. Month-by-month operating costs for each option worth considering.
3
The recommendation
Including 'not yet' when that is right. Delivered as a written report you keep either way.
4
If you proceed
Install, rebate paperwork, and a performance review twelve months later against what we projected.
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.”
PPeter VandenbergWest Park
“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.”
AAmrita BhallaGarden Park
“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.”

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.
