A heat pump cools your Mississauga home in summer and heats it through most of the winter on electricity. We install central and ductless cold-climate models and pair them with your furnace when that makes sense.
*Includes standard installation only. Any extra work your home needs is quoted before we start.
Prices before HST. Your price is confirmed after a free assessment.
📞 Call (647) 677-0037| Your home | Share of homes | Usual fit |
|---|---|---|
| Detached or semi with ductwork | 48% | A central heat pump on the existing ducts, often as a hybrid with the furnace |
| Row or condo townhouse | 14% | Central if there is room for the outdoor unit and the corporation allows it, otherwise ductless |
| Duplex or low-rise apartment | 10% | Ductless, so each unit gets its own heating and cooling |
| Suite in a building of 5+ storeys | 27% | Only where the building permits outdoor units; many suites rely on the building system |

Better and Best ranges are on our heat pump and ductless mini-split pages.
A finished basement, a second unit or a rear addition often sits on the end of the ductwork, too cold in winter and stuffy in summer. A single-zone ductless heat pump gives that space its own heating and cooling and its own remote, without touching the rest of the house. In Mississauga that usually starts around $2,800 installed for one room.
Nearly 4 in 10 Mississauga homes (38%) date from 1980 or earlier, long before anyone planned for a heat pump. A heat pump needs its own 240-volt circuit, and some older panels are already full or close to their limit. We check yours at the free assessment. If it needs an upgrade, that work is done by a licensed electrical contractor under an Electrical Safety Authority permit, and you know about it before you approve a price.

About 16% of Mississauga homes were built between 2001 and 2010, and their original air conditioners are now past the usual 12 to 15 years. If your AC is due for replacement but the furnace is still sound, that is the ideal moment for a hybrid system: the heat pump handles summer cooling and does most of the winter heating, while the gas furnace covers the coldest days. You keep a backup heat source and burn less gas through spring and fall.
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Ductless heat pump, single room | From $2,800* |
| Central heat pump, smaller home | From $4,500* |
| Central heat pump rental | $54.95/mo, $0 upfront* |
| Heat pump repair | $400 to $1,200 |
| Central AC instead | From $4,000* |

Before HST, and the same as in Brampton. The final price depends on the model, your ductwork and any electrical upgrades, and we confirm it after a free assessment.
Ottawa's National Heat Pump Rebate was announced on October 8, 2026 and is aimed at cold-climate air source heat pumps, but applications have not opened and the details may still change. We will update this page when it opens. Until then, see our financing options.
On a semi or a townhouse lot, the outdoor unit often ends up close to a neighbour. Modern variable-speed units are quiet in normal running, but we still keep them away from bedroom windows, raise them on a stand or bracket so snow and meltwater can clear, and leave room for service. In a condo townhouse, get the corporation's approval for the location first.
Yes. The cold-climate models we install keep heating well below freezing, and our high-efficiency units are rated to -25°C. Every winter still brings a few cold snaps: on those days a hybrid system switches to the furnace automatically, and an all-electric system leans on its backup heat.
