Heat Pumps & Ductless Splits for Owen Sound & Grey Bruce
Efficient Year-Round Heating & Cooling for Your Home
Heat pumps are very efficient ways to heat your home AND provide summer air conditioning.
Whether you're looking for a ducted system or ductless split option,
Crose Mechanical has the expertise to help you save money and stay comfortable.
Why Choose a Heat Pump?
One system that heats, cools, dehumidifies, and saves you money. Here's why Grey Bruce homeowners are making the switch. Heat pumps are a very efficient way to heat your home in the winter and provide summer air conditioning.
If running ductwork through your house isn't appealing, consider "ductless split" air conditioning or a heat pump as an option. If ducts are appealing, they can be used with a heat pump and a forced-air furnace or an electric backup.
🏠 Local Expertise You Can Trust
Eric installed his first heat pump in 2018 and has been a firm believer ever since. "In my first winter, compared to previous years, my heating expenses dropped $800," Eric shares. "Plus, now I have air conditioning." We've installed hundreds of heat pumps across Owen Sound and Grey Bruce—we know what works in our climate.
Is a Heat Pump Right for Your Home?
✓ You're a Good Fit If:
- You currently heat with propane, oil, or electric baseboards
- You want air conditioning in the summer too
- Your home is reasonably well-insulated
- You're looking to reduce your energy costs
- You want a more environmentally friendly heating option
- You're in Owen Sound or Grey Bruce Counties (we're local!)
❄️ Worried About Grey Bruce Winters?
This is the #1 question we get! Cold Climate heat pumps are specially designed for Ontario winters and can work efficiently down to -30°C.
For extremely cold nights, you have options:
- Standalone system: Cold climate models handle most heating needs year-round
- Hybrid system: Use your existing furnace as backup during the coldest days
Many of our customers use their heat pump as the primary heating source and their existing propane or oil furnace stays off 90% of the winter—only kicking in on the coldest nights.
Things to Consider Before Installing
A heat pump installation is more than just replacing equipment. Here's what's involved:
- Space for outdoor unit: Need a location for the condensing unit outside your home
- Electrical work: Most heat pumps require a dedicated circuit
- Possible ductwork modifications: If going with ducted system
- Home insulation: Better insulation = smaller, more affordable heat pump
