Question 3

Do heat pumps really work during harsh Quebec winters?

Accepted Answer

Yes, modern cold-climate heat pumps are specifically engineered to operate efficiently at low temperatures. Many models continue to extract heat even when outside temperatures reach −25 °C or colder. In extreme cold, a supplementary heating source may assist. Proper system sizing, insulation, and quality installation are critical to ensure reliable performance in winter conditions.

How often should I maintain my HVAC or heat pump system?

Accepted Answer

It’s recommended to schedule a professional inspection and servicing at least once per year, ideally in spring for cooling, and in fall for heating. A maintenance visit typically includes cleaning coils and filters, inspecting electrical components, checking refrigerant pressures, testing safety controls, and ensuring optimal airflow. Doing so helps extend equipment life, maintain peak efficiency, and avoid costly breakdowns.

Question 5

What financial incentives or rebates are available for heat pumps in Quebec?

Accepted Answer

There are several incentive programs available: Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program, the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program from the federal government, and the Chauffez Vert program. Eligibility depends on system efficiency, contractor qualifications, timeline, and other conditions.

Question 6

What is the expected lifespan of a heat pump or HVAC system, and how can I maximize it?
