Common Questions for Nanaimo Homeowners
Do I need a heat pump if I have a furnace?
No—but it's worth considering. A new furnace costs $4K–$7K with zero rebate. A heat pump costs $7K–$11K but qualifies for $4K–$8K rebate, bringing your net cost to near zero. Heat pumps also cool in summer and run 3–4× more efficiently than gas furnaces, saving you $200–$400 every year. Read the full comparison →
What about solar if I only want heating?
Solar and heat pumps work together in BC. Solar powers your heat pump, batteries store the power for winter cold, and Peak Saver (BC Hydro's program) pays you to share stored power when the grid is stressed in January. But if you only want heating, a heat pump alone qualifies for $4K–$8K rebate. Start there, add solar later.
How long does installation take?
A heat pump install in Nanaimo typically takes 2–5 days. Your installer will coordinate with you on timing. BC Hydro processes the rebate cheque in 30–45 days after install completion.
