Why Ontarians Are Siding with Heat Pumps This Winter
Posted On: January 6, 2026
Across Ontario, more homeowners than ever are choosing heat pumps as their primary heating solution—and this winter is no exception.
Rising energy costs, improved cold-climate technology, and a growing focus on efficiency have made heat pumps one of the most talked-about HVAC upgrades in the province.
So why are Ontarians increasingly siding with heat pumps this winter? The answer comes down to performance, savings, and long-term value.
Cold-Climate Technology Has Changed the Game
Older heat pumps struggled in freezing temperatures, but modern cold-climate heat pumps are built specifically for Canadian winters.
These systems continue delivering reliable heat even when outdoor temperatures drop well below zero.
Thanks to advanced compressors, improved refrigerants, and intelligent controls, today’s heat pumps maintain consistent indoor comfort throughout Ontario’s long heating season.
Lower Winter Energy Costs Matter More Than Ever
With heating costs top of mind, homeowners are looking for ways to reduce monthly expenses without sacrificing comfort.
Heat pumps are highly efficient because they move heat instead of creating it, allowing them to deliver more heat using less energy.
Many Ontarians are switching to heat pumps to:
Reduce winter utility bills
Lower dependence on fossil fuels
Avoid fluctuating fuel costs
Over the course of the winter, these savings can be significant.
One System for Heating and Cooling
Another reason heat pumps are gaining popularity is their versatility.
A single system provides both winter heating and summer cooling, eliminating the need for separate equipment.
This means:
Fewer systems to maintain
Lower long-term ownership costs
Simplified home comfort
For homeowners planning upgrades, a heat pump offers a practical, all-in-one solution.
More Consistent, Comfortable Heat
Unlike furnaces that cycle on and off, heat pumps operate steadily at variable speeds.
This creates even, consistent warmth throughout the home without sudden blasts of hot air or temperature swings.
Ontario homeowners often notice:
Fewer cold spots
More balanced room temperatures
Improved overall comfort
This steady operation is especially appreciated during long winter stretches.
Better Indoor Air Quality and Humidity Control
Winter heating can dry out indoor air, leading to discomfort and irritation.
Heat pumps provide gentler heat delivery, which helps maintain more balanced indoor humidity levels.
Improved air circulation and filtration also contribute to better indoor air quality—another reason many Ontarians are making the switch.
Environmentally Conscious Choices
As more homeowners focus on reducing their environmental impact, heat pumps stand out as one of the most eco-friendly heating options available.
Because they rely on electricity rather than combustion, heat pumps produce no on-site emissions.
With Ontario’s relatively clean electricity grid, choosing a heat pump aligns with long-term sustainability goals while still delivering reliable winter comfort.
Flexible Options for Ontario Homes
Heat pumps are not limited to new builds.
They work well in:
Older homes
Homes without ductwork
Multi-level houses
Renovations and additions
Ducted, ductless, and hybrid systems give homeowners flexibility to choose a setup that fits their home and budget.
Professional Installation Makes the Difference
Ontario homeowners are also learning that success with heat pumps depends on proper installation.
Correct sizing, system design, and setup ensure reliable winter performance and maximum efficiency.
That’s why many homeowners are turning to experienced local HVAC professionals to guide them through the process.
Heat Pumps Are Becoming Ontario’s Winter Heating Choice
With improved cold-weather performance, lower energy costs, enhanced comfort, and environmental benefits, it’s easy to see why so many Ontarians are siding with heat pumps this winter.
What was once considered an alternative option has become a reliable, proven heating solution for modern Ontario homes.
For homeowners in the Durham Region and Toronto, Twintech Heating & Cooling helps design and install heat pump systems built to handle Ontario winters—comfortably and efficiently.

Imagine, it's 5 minutes after the midnight countdown New Year's eve and the furnace quits. We called TwinTech fully expecting to leave a message and actually spoke with Greg, one of the owners! We had an immediate repair early the next morning & a new furnace within the week. We have entrusted TwinTech with all our home HVAC service needs for over 6 years. That's why this week with an opportunity to purchase a new BBQ, we called them 1st to see about a gas line install. It's chicken on the grill tonight! They are efficient, reliable, honest, hard working, and -- attentive is an understatement.

Wonderful customer service, starting from the job quote (Dave), to the clean install, to the follow-up. Twintech is a small company which installed my Napoleon furnace, A/C, John Wood tank, and ran the line for my gas dryer. The installation was completed as promised in one day. The work area was kept very clean, and they even took care of my old rental tank. The professionalism and wonderful customer service is second to none. They completed all of my rebate paperwork, and now I'm getting $2000 back! You will not be disappointed if you hire this company for your project.

I was referred to Twintech by a neighbour and was not disappointed. Not only was the customer service excellent their workmanship was second to none. Greg and Grant work extremely clean covering the pathway to the furnace room, labeling the essential parts, left the area spotless and were efficient. They cleaned up the mess left by the previous installers (wiring, improperly installed AC coil, and gaps in venting etc). They also ran through the operation of the new furnace and gave me some maintenance tips. Greg and Grant are professional and all around good guys. I will definitely recommend their service to anyone without hesitation.

Twintech Heating & Cooling Inc. came in and replaced my 39 year old furnace with a beautiful Napoleon variable high efficiency furnace! Their work was efficient and professional and they were a pleasure to deal with, from sales to installation! I would highly recommend them.

After receiving numerous quotes to replace my old furnace and AC unit (which was 20 years old) I went with Twintech. Dave, in sales, answered questions professionally and promptly and worked diligently in order to secure my business. Installation was scheduled the week after and Greg and Peter showed up, as scheduled, and did a fine job installing both units. The site was left tidy and neat. I would highly recommend Twintech for your furnace and AC work.

I chose TwinTech because they installed my new furnace a few years ago and did a great job. When they installed my new A/C, they replaced all parts -- the copper pipes, the housing on top of the furnace and the wiring. (Apparently, the wiring for my old A/C was insufficient.) Their pricing was competitive. The sales representative came to see me within a few hours of my call. My new A/C was installed a few days later and I couldn't be happier with Twintech's professionalism and work. I would recommend TwinTech to any homeowner.

Had a great experience with this company. Great price and great customer service. You wont be disappointed with twintech. Discussed the job with Greg while he was installing who was extremely informative and obviously enjoys the work he does.

I needed my AC unit relocated due to upcoming landscape work. I reached out to the Twintech team through Homestars. Dave connected with me immediately to discuss the project and various options. We decided the best option was to mount the unit on the wall. Greg was in touch with me the same day as well and we scheduled the work for later that same week. This was a small job so I did not think I would get immediate attention. The Twintech team exceeded my expectations in every respect. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. The team arrived exactly on time on the scheduled day and worked efficiently to get the job done quickly. I would definitely use Twintech again for any Heating and AC projects.

I have used Greg Dainty for over 15 years in 3 different homes, for heating, cooling, pool heaters, appliances and bbq lines. Greg has always been so professional, friendly and the workmanship nothing short of fantastic. Greg has always discussed my options and fixing versus replacing, giving his honest opinion and what works best for me cost effective wise and long term. I have valued his opinion so much and have not trusted my gas needs with anyone since using him. I have also referred him to many of my friends and family and have always been so thankful with how well and quickly he looks after us all. I hold Greg in the highest regard and would recommend him to anyone with complete confidence!
