Heat Pump Installation & Repair in Lethbridge, AB
Lethbridge's mild prairie winters and hot summers make it a good fit for a heat pump, especially one paired with a furnace for the coldest days.
Request an HVAC technicianHow a heat pump works
A heat pump moves heat rather than making it. In winter it pulls heat from outdoor air into the house; in summer it reverses and works like an air conditioner. One system handles both seasons.
Cold-climate models
Newer cold-climate heat pumps keep heating well below freezing. On the coldest days, a furnace or electric backup can take over. Ask the technician how a system would handle a Lethbridge cold snap.
Defrost is normal
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs short defrost cycles and may give off steam for a few minutes. That's normal and not a sign of a fault. See our heat pump guide.
Wind and placement
The outdoor unit should sit on a stand above snow level, away from drifting and roof run-off. In a city as windy as Lethbridge, a spot sheltered from the strongest winds helps it work well.
Pairing with a furnace
A dual-fuel setup uses the heat pump most of the year and switches to the gas furnace when it gets very cold. That keeps comfort high and can lower operating costs.
Get a quote
Tell the technician your home's size, current heating and whether you also want cooling. Send a request and an HVAC technician will get in touch.
Ducted or ductless
A ducted heat pump uses your existing ductwork and works with your furnace. A ductless system suits homes without ducts. The technician can explain which fits your house.
Maintenance
Keep the outdoor unit clear of snow, leaves and grass clippings, change the indoor filter often, and book a yearly check of refrigerant and controls.
