Heat Pumps Built for Ottawa Winters
Traditional heat pumps lose efficiency as temperatures drop, but cold-climate heat pumps are specifically engineered to maintain performance in extreme cold. With advanced inverter-driven compressors and enhanced vapor injection technology, these systems deliver reliable heating even when temperatures plunge to -25°C to -30°C.
For Ottawa homeowners, a cold-climate heat pump means year-round comfort without sacrificing efficiency during our harsh winters.
How Cold-Climate Heat Pumps Work
Cold-climate heat pumps use advanced technology to extract heat from outdoor air even in sub-zero temperatures. Key features include variable-speed inverter compressors that adjust output to match heating demand, enhanced vapor injection (EVI) that boosts capacity at low temperatures, and larger heat exchangers optimized for cold weather operation.
