How much does a central heat pump cost in Canada? Compare installation prices, rebates, efficiency ratings, and key factors before buying.

In Canada, an installed central heat pump generally costs between $6,000 and $13,500, depending on the system size, energy efficiency, existing HVAC setup, and any related work required. This amount usually includes the equipment and specialized labour, but the final price can vary based on the unit’s capacity, SEER2/HSPF2 ratings, ductwork condition, electrical requirements, and local labour rates.&nbsp;Financial assistance may also be available depending on your province, municipality, income level, heating system, and the model installed. Federal programs have changed significantly in recent years, so it is important to verify active rebates before signing a contract.
