Comfort Heat Pumps Cape Breton installs, cleans and repairs heat pumps for homes and cottages across Cape Breton Island. Every price is put in writing before the job starts.
We started with one idea. A heat pump should be sized for the house it goes into, and the person buying it should understand exactly what they are paying for. You can see the full list of services on our home page.
We size every heat pump from a heat loss check done one room at a time, never from square footage alone. That means measuring rooms, counting windows, checking the insulation and asking what heats the home today.
From that check we know how much heat every room needs on the coldest night, and which heat pump fits. An undersized unit leaves bedrooms chilly, while an oversized one starts and stops all day and wastes power.
Our written heat pump quote names the make and model of each piece, its capacity, the spot chosen for every head and for the outdoor unit, and the installed total. Below that it shows the rebate you are likely to get and your cost once it is paid.
Nothing is left to a handshake. If the plan changes on the day of the install, the change is written down and signed before the work continues.
Most of Cape Breton gets 250 centimetres of snow or more a year, strong winter winds and salt air close to the water. A heat pump that is not set up for those conditions will freeze up, lose airflow or wear out early.
That is why we use tall stands and wall brackets, face units away from the wind, leave room for defrost water to drain and suggest coastal models near the shore.
Yes. We explain which rebates you are likely to qualify for, give you an invoice itemized the way Efficiency Nova Scotia asks for it, and remind you of the steps that must happen before the install.
The rebate is paid to you by the program, not by us. We make sure the paperwork on our side is complete so it does not hold up your cheque.
We work for homeowners, cottage owners, landlords and small businesses from North Sydney to Chéticamp, St. Peter's and Isle Madame. Many of our customers are retired, and we take the time to explain the heat pump controls until they feel easy.

A ductless heat pump heats a room or an open floor plan through a slim indoor head on the wall, with no ductwork needed. It is the most common job in Cape Breton because most older homes were never built with ducts.

A whole-home heat pump system runs several indoor heads from one or two outdoor units, so every main room gets its own heat. It is the right choice when one head cannot reach the bedrooms, the basement or the far end of the house.

A ducted central heat pump sends warm air through the ductwork a house already has, the same way a furnace does. It suits homes with a forced-air oil or electric furnace and ducts in good shape.

An oil to heat pump conversion replaces most or all of the heat from an oil furnace or boiler with a heat pump. It cuts the oil bill, and in many homes it ends oil deliveries altogether.

A proper heat pump cleaning takes the indoor head apart, washes the coil and the blower wheel, flushes the drain line and rinses the outdoor unit. A wipe of the filters is not a cleaning.

Heat pump repair finds out why a unit has stopped heating, is blowing cold air, is leaking water or is showing an error code, and then fixes it. Most problems come down to airflow, drainage, a sensor, a board or the refrigerant charge.

A heat pump water heater heats your hot water by pulling warmth out of the air around the tank, instead of heating it with an electric element alone.

A heat pump keeps a cottage or seasonal home dry and above freezing through the winter, then cools it in summer. It is often the cheapest way to heat a camp that is only used on weekends.
