Sales are growing so quickly that some installers wonder whether heat pumps could even wipe out the demand for new air conditioners in a few years and put a significant dent in the number of natural gas furnaces.

It would be unwise to not have a backup heat source if you’re installing a heat pump in Canada.

As always, in all things, solicit advice from a pro. Conditions will vary wildly between Vancouver, Regina, StJohns and Sarnia.

I have 3 sources. Heat pump, oil furnace, and oven.

I was "use the oven to heat part of the house" kind of poor, once. ;-)
