ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a New Ductless System
Continuous Run Time
Heat pumps provide much lower btu delivery compared to traditional furnaces. Therefor, these pieces of equipment often need to run 80-90 of the time to maintain a steady temperature in your home. Don’t worry: the longer run times don’t break the bank. The units will modulate to adjust to the required temperature to keep you cozy and comfortable all year round.
SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio; previously known as SEER rating)
This is the cooling output efficiency rating provided by this system in the summer months. The higher the SEER2 rating, the cheaper it is to run.
HSPF2 (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor; previously known as HSPF rating)
This is a term specifically used to define the measurement of efficiency for a residential heat pump system.
ccASHP (Cold-climate air source heat pump)
The units with the highest efficiency are classified using this term.
Understanding Efficiency Data
Units all have different ratings; ensure you are looking for BTU data points at specific winter temperatures for the zone you live in. For example, the unit should operate at a minimum of 85% efficiency at -20C to be effective in the South Okanagan’s winter climate.
HPCN
To guarantee your system is installed using the highest of standards, ensure you are choosing a contractor who is a member of this network. You must work with an HPCN member to qualify for the heat pump rebates offered by CleanBC.
System Operation
Make sure you work with a contractor who devotes time to ensure you are comfortable with the initial operation of the system, as it can take a bit of time to learn. Having a reputable contractor who is available when you need them is extremely important with these systems.
Types of Interior Units
– Wall mount: Best for wide open spaces
– Floor mount: Good option when aesthetics are important and wall mounts are deemed to not be aesthetically pleasing.
– Ducted: Best for compartmentalized spaces with multiple rooms, that can be controlled together. Also a better option for those sensitive to noise while sleeping, as these units are extremely quiet. In most cases, there must be access to crawlspace or attic in order to utilize these indoor units.
– Ceiling cassette: Mounted flush to a ceiling; good option when space constraints do not allow for a ducted unit, and when aesthetics limit a wall or floor mount. In most cases, access via an attic is required.
Warranty Coverage
Look for equipment that has extended labour warranty or matches parts warranty for ultimate peace of mind. Ensure you are always receiving a copy of the registered warranty certificate.
Maintenance
The design of these systems requires professional annual maintenance to run at peak performance. When available, ensure you are enrolling in a maintenance plan to ensure upkeep of equipment is top-of-mind.

Best Upgrade For
Replacing an old, inefficient central heat pump, adding to an existing furnace that doesn’t currently have air conditioning or replacing a gas appliance with an entirely electric system. When selecting a new central heat pump unit, it’s crucial to consider various factors to ensure optimal performance, energy efficiency, and a comfortable living environment. Here are key points to keep in mind:
Correct Size and Capacity
Ensure the unit’s cooling capacity matches the output needed for your home. An improperly sized unit can lead to inefficiency, higher energy bills and uneven cooling. Systems can be often reduced in size up to 30%, creating much higher comfort levels throughout your home as well as lowering energy bills.
Ductwork Upgrades
Adjustments and upgrades to ductwork are frequently required to accommodate new high-efficiency equipment. Neglecting this can substantially reduce the equipment and efficiency, leading to increased noise, higher energy bills, reduced comfort, and a shorter lifespan for your equipment. Be sure to select a contractor who understands the importance of integrating the entire HVAC system to ensure it operates at peak efficiency.
Warranty Coverage
Ensure you are checking the manufacturer’s warranty for coverage on parts, and any limitations or exclusions. Look for equipment that offers extended labour warranty, or matches parts warranty, for ultimate peace of mind.
Installation by Certified Professionals
Ensure you are working with a contractor who holds all valid HVAC certifications required to ensure your system has the most professional installation possible. This is crucial for the heat pump’s performance, efficiency, and safety. Ensure you receive a commissioning checklist for peace of mind that the heat pump was installed within the correct specifications.
