We install, clean and repair heat pumps for homes, cottages and small businesses across Cape Breton Island, from North Sydney and Baddeck to Inverness and Isle Madame.
Start with how the house is heated now. Electric baseboards and no ducts point to a ductless heat pump for the main floor, or a whole-home system if the bedrooms are cold too. A forced-air oil or electric furnace with sound ducts points to a ducted central heat pump. An oil boiler with radiators usually means ductless heads, with the boiler kept as backup at first. If you already have a heat pump, the question is cleaning or repair, not a new install. A camp or seasonal home has its own page because it is used differently. And if your electric hot water tank is getting old, a heat pump water heater is worth a look.
Each page explains the work, the typical price and the rebates that may apply.
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.
Prices and details: Cleaning and Maintenance
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.
Prices and details: Repair and Service
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.
Prices and details: Cottages and CampsFor a new install, it starts with a phone call or the form, and a free visit to the house. We look at the rooms, the panel and where the outdoor unit can go, then send a written quote that names the equipment and the rebates it may earn. If you are claiming a rebate, book the Efficiency Nova Scotia assessment before the work, and apply for the Moderate Income Rebate first if you may qualify. On install day the crew protects the house, installs and tests the system, and shows you how to run it. Cleanings and repairs are simpler: call, book a time and the technician comes to you.

As of October 30, 2026, three Nova Scotia programs can help pay for a heat pump. The Efficiency Nova Scotia Home Energy Assessment pays $300 a ton for ductless and $500 a ton for centrally ducted heat pumps, up to $5,000 per home, after a $199 assessment. The Moderate Income Rebate adds up to $5,000 more, for up to $10,000 combined, for income-qualified owners whose main heat is not electric. HomeWarming covers upgrades for lower-income households. The National Heat Pump Rebate opens in early 2027 for eligible installs from November 1, 2026. Cleanings and repairs are not covered by any of these.
