Before you ask
Honest Answers to Common Questions
Q How much does a heat pump actually cost?
A typical install runs $5,000–$25,000 depending on size, type (ductless vs. ducted), and home complexity. After rebates, most homeowners pay significantly less. Eligible households can receive up to $21,000 in combined rebates and electrical upgrade incentives.
Q Do heat pumps actually work in cold weather?
Modern cold-climate heat pumps deliver reliable heat well below freezing — even on the coldest Cowichan and West Shore mornings. We size every system specifically for our coastal climate. If you want extra peace of mind, a dual fuel system pairs a heat pump with a backup furnace for the deepest cold snaps.
Q Do I need ductwork?
No. Ductless mini-splits don't need any ductwork and are ideal for character homes, additions, and condos. If you already have ducts from a furnace, we can install a central ducted heat pump that uses them.
Q How long does install take?
Most residential heat pump installations are completed in a single day. Complex multi-zone systems or homes needing ductwork modifications may take two. We confirm the timeline during your free estimate so there are no surprises.
Q Why should I trust Red Fox over the other quotes I'm getting?
