Heat Pumps
We are the heat pump experts here on Vancouver Island. We maintain, service and install all brands and types of heat pumps for both residential and commercial light industrial buildings.
As an all-in-one HVAC unit, a heat pump can create the ideal indoor air quality and environment. Whether you have a ductless (wall, ceiling or floor mounted unit) ducted (central air) or air to water (hydronic heating using hot water to heat in-floor) heat pump, our technicians can keep it working at its peak. We also service and maintain pool heat pump units to help keep your pool at the perfect temperature for optimal comfort.
Heat pump technology has been around for the last 70 years and it works incredibly efficiently with our west coast climate. With regular maintenance, your heat pump can and will serve your home or business for many years to come.
Our technicians are trained and certified to work on all types of heat pumps, including:

Maintenance for Your Heat Pump
One of the biggest issues we find today with heat pump systems is that they are not maintained, which causes them to operate less efficiently and cost more to run annually. It is recommended by the manufacturer to have your heat pump maintained once a year.
All these models and heat pump types have a shelf life, and our experienced team of technicians want to help extend it for you. Our technicians check your heat pump system inside and out to diagnose any issues and determine where the source of any problems may be.
Our maintenance checklist includes:
- check thermostat operation (batteries removed)
- check electrical (tightness & wear)
- check blower motor amps
- check blower motor shaft & bearings
- check blower motor fan wheel (clean, balanced)
- check back-up heating (if electric, check amps)
- check ducting
- check filter (change if dirty)
- check unit for present errors (if applicable)
- check temperature (rise/drop)
- check compressor amps
- check compressor bearings
- check contactor(s)
- check capacitor(s)
- check operation of reversing valve
- check condenser fan motor amps
- check condenser fan shaft & bearings
- check operating refrigeration pressures
- check refrigerant levels through sub-cooling (only when values are given to compare)
- check line-set (secure)
- check defrost cycle (depends on outdoor temperature)
- check defrost pin settings (30, 60, 90)
- check thermostat operation (batteries removed)
- check electrical (tightness & wear)
- check blower motor amps
- check blower motor shaft & bearings
