Components of a Natural Gas Heat Pump System
- Gas Heat Pump Unit (installed outside) – Extracts heat from outdoor air.
- Air Handling Unit (installed inside) – Distributes heated air throughout the home.
- Water Storage Tank (installed inside) – Supplies hot water for household use.
How Gas Heat Pumps Work
- Primary Energy Source: Uses natural gas to generate heat.
- Secondary Energy Source: Captures additional heat from ambient outdoor air.
- Heat Transfer Efficiency: Moves heat rather than generating it, achieving efficiencies greater than 100%.
This rebate program supports Ontario’s clean energy goals by helping homeowners transition to high-efficiency heating solutions. Limited spaces are available, so eligible homeowners should act quickly to secure their rebate.
