Heat Pump Systems
Year-round comfort from one efficient system
Heating and Cooling in One System
Heat pumps are gaining popularity in Manitoba as technology has improved their cold-weather performance. These systems provide both heating and cooling, using electricity to move heat rather than generate it—resulting in impressive efficiency.
Patterson Mechanical installs cold-climate heat pumps throughout Stonewall, Winnipeg, and the surrounding area. We help homeowners understand whether a heat pump makes sense for their situation and select the right equipment for Manitoba conditions.
How Heat Pumps Work
In summer, a heat pump works like an air conditioner, moving heat from inside your home to outside. In winter, it reverses: extracting heat from outdoor air (even cold air contains heat energy) and moving it inside. This process is more efficient than generating heat directly, resulting in lower operating costs.
Cold-Climate Heat Pumps
Modern cold-climate heat pumps are designed to work effectively at temperatures as low as -25°C to -30°C. While a backup heat source (like your existing furnace) may be needed on the coldest days, heat pumps can handle the majority of Manitoba's heating season efficiently.
Benefits
- Dual function: One system for both heating and cooling
- Efficiency: 2-3x more efficient than electric resistance heating
- Lower carbon footprint: Reduce natural gas consumption
- Year-round comfort: No need for separate heating and cooling equipment
- Rebates: Government programs often offer incentives for heat pump installation
Ducted vs. Ductless
Heat pumps are available in both configurations. Ducted systems connect to your existing ductwork, while ductless mini-split heat pumps provide zone-by-zone control without ducts. We help you choose the right approach for your home.
