Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pumps Ottawa, Unbiased, and Impartial Price Options

Welcome to JD Swallow Heating and Cooling guide to heat pumps!

If you’re looking to heat or cool your home in Ottawa, a heat pump is a great option to consider. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of heat pumps, the difference between a regular heat pump and a cold climate heat pump, and why homeowners should consider choosing a heat pump over a gas furnace.

What is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is an HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system that moves heat from one place to another. In the winter, it extracts heat from the outside air and brings it into your home, while in the summer, it removes heat from your home and expels it outside, aka an air conditioner. Heat pumps work by using a refrigerant to absorb and release heat as it cycles through the system.

What is the Difference Between a Regular Heat Pump and a Cold Climate Heat Pump?

A regular heat pump is designed to work in mild climates and can struggle in colder temperatures. In Ottawa’s cold climate, a cold climate heat pump is a better option. Cold climate heat pumps are specifically designed to work in temperatures as low as -25°C, ensuring that your home stays warm even on the coldest winter days.

Why Choose a Heat Pump over a Gas Furnace?

There are several reasons why a homeowner might choose a heat pump over a gas furnace. One of the main reasons is that heat pumps are much more energy-efficient than gas furnaces. In fact, according to Natural Resources Canada, a heat pump can be up to 50% more efficient than a gas furnace. With energy prices on the rise, choosing a heat pump is a smart way to save money on your heating and cooling bills. Additionally, heat pumps are much better for the environment than gas furnaces, as they produce significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. JD Swallow installed a new gas-fired hot water heater for us. Andrew G. and Kevin F. were on time, friendly, and professional. They were careful to lay down mats to protect the floors as they moved the old water heater out and the new one in. They tidied as they worked, and the area was spotless upon completion of the installation. Another job well done by JD Swallow Heating & Cooling!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently contracted JD Swalllow to replace my leaky combi-core hot water heater. JDS were up front about their process and their pricing was very competitive which made my decision to hire them very easy (plus, they came highly recommended).  Thank you to the team - Jeremy, Germane, Jithin and Alex - for making the best of  returning my old tank and then installing the new one in a very tight space. And thank you to André as well who returned the next day to finalize a few things requiring his expertise. He also provided me with a lot of information on extending the life of my new HWH. I will keep using JD Swallow in the future and recommend them to anyone who asks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Technicians that arrived were extremely professional and friendly.  They worked efficiently throughout the house and were very respectful of the areas they were working in.  What was even more impressive, was the way they interacted with my two dogs.  Would highly recommend!
