In Quebec, heat pumps have become a popular choice because they combine heating and cooling in one system. But should you choose a wall-mounted heat pump or a central heat pump? Each has unique features that affect comfort, costs and efficiency. At Tran Climatisation, our experts have been helping homeowners in Montreal, Laval, the South Shore and the North Shore for over 10 years to compare these options and select the heat pump best suited to their home.

What is a wall-mounted heat pump?

Also called a mini-split (ductless heat pump):

• Consists of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor wall units.
• Does not require any air ducts.
• Quick and flexible installation.
  

What are the advantages of a wall-mounted heat pump?

• Ideal for homes without existing ductwork.
• Lower purchase and installation cost.
• Excellent energy efficiency.
• Allows you to heat or cool specific zones independently.
  

What are the limitations of a wall-mounted heat pump?

• Less discreet indoors (visible wall units).
• Less suitable for heating or cooling a large home as a whole.
  

What is a central heat pump?

• Connected to the home’s ductwork.
• Distributes warm or cool air evenly throughout every room.
• Operates with an outdoor unit and an indoor system linked to ducts.
  

What are the advantages of a central heat pump?

• Provides uniform comfort throughout the home.
• More discreet indoors (no visible wall units).
• Compatible with an electric or gas furnace (dual-energy).
  

What are the limitations for a central heat pump ?

• More expensive and complex to install.
• Requires existing ductwork or new ducts to be added.
  

What are the costs and subsidies associated with a heat pump ?

• Wall-mounted heat pump: $3,500 to $7,500 (installation included).
• Central heat pump: $8,000 to $15,000 (installation included).
• Both systems are eligible for subsidy programs (LogisVert, Chauffez Vert, Novoclimat, Hydro-Québec’s Efficient Heat Pump program).
  

How to choose between wall-mounted and central?

• No ducts: choose a wall-mounted unit.
• With ducts: central is usually the best option.
• Limited budget: wall-mounted is more affordable.
• Whole-home comfort: central ensures even distribution.

A transitional phase is planned for participants registered in the Rénoclimat program before this date. To receive financial assistance for the installation of these systems, a post-retrofit evaluation visit must be carried out before September 30, 2024.

In addition, as of March 1, 2024, new registrants to the Novoclimat program are no longer eligible for financial assistance for the acquisition of an air-source heat pump.

*Please note: Don’t miss out on the new subsidies available. Check them out now to save big: https://tranclimatisation.com/en/subsidies/

As an accredited contractor, Tran Climatisation offers you the possibility of obtaining a Rénoclimat grant to improve the energy performance of your home, small apartment building or large apartment building.

*It is also important to note that the financial assistance for the installation or replacement of an eligible heat pump will be modified.

• The financial assistance will no longer be a fixed amount.
• It varies mainly according to the winter heating capacity of the installed system.
• The higher the capacity of the heat pump, the greater the financial assistance.
• The financial assistance will be $50 for every 1,000 BTU of heating at -8°C and will replace the fixed amount of $650 currently offered.

What are the advantages of using the Rénoclimat program?

• Any other measure that does not improve the energy efficiency of a home.

An experienced team to advise you on the Rénoclimat subsidy

With a Rénoclimat grant in hand, you can easily carry out your renovation project at an affordable price. In addition to helping you with your renovations, the grant will allow you to reduce your energy consumption by approximately 20%. If you are interested in this grant, meet with a Tran Climatisation advisor who will be happy to answer all your questions. He will explain in detail what the Rénoclimat grant is all about, how it can help you reduce your annual energy consumption and literally melt your energy bills.

At Tran Climatisation, our certified technicians have been helping thousands of homeowners in Montreal, Laval, the South Shore and the North Shore for over 10 years with professional heat pump maintenance, repair and replacement.

What is the average lifespan of a heat pump?

• On average, a heat pump lasts 12 to 15 years.
• High-end, well-maintained models can last up to 20 years.
• The actual lifespan depends on several factors:
  
  • Quality of installation.
  • Frequency of maintenance.
  • Climate conditions (extreme cold, humidity, ice).
  • Annual usage (heating + cooling or cooling only).
    

What are the signs that it’s time to replace your heat pump?

The most common signs identified by our experts include:

• Your system is over 12–15 years old and often breaks down.
• Your electric bills are increasing without changes in usage.
• The heat pump heats or cools less efficiently.
• You notice unusual noises (clanking, vibrations, buzzing).
• You experience frequent refrigerant leaks or electrical issues.
• Replacement parts are increasingly difficult to find.
  

Repair or replace your heat pump: how to decide?

The general rules are : 

• If the unit is less than 10 years old, repair is usually the best option.
• If it is more than 12 years old and the repair is costly, replacement is generally more cost-effective in the long run.
  

At Tran Climatisation, we always compare repair costs with the energy savings from a new unit to help you make the right decision.

What are the benefits of replacing an aging heat pump?

• Immediate reduction in energy bills with ENERGY STAR® models.
• Greater comfort: more consistent heating and stable cooling.
• Quieter operation.
• Access to subsidies (LogisVert, Chauffez Vert, Novoclimat, etc.).
• Increased resale value for your home.

The post Dual energy installation and repair appeared first on Tran Climatisation.

What is a dual energy heating system?

A dual energy heating system combines two energy sources, usually electricity and natural gas, to optimize energy consumption and reduce heating costs. This type of system works intelligently: when outside temperatures are warm, electricity is used first. In periods of extreme cold, the heating system automatically switches to natural gas to ensure optimum efficiency.

Several types of equipment are compatible with a dual energy system, including:

• Central heat pumps with a natural gas furnace.
• Dual-energy furnaces, which run on electricity and gas depending on outdoor temperature.
• Hybrid central heating systems, combining a heat pump and a gas furnace.
• Wall-mounted units with gas backup, offering flexibility for heating specific spaces.

This type of installation allows homeowners to benefit from increased energy efficiency while enjoying Hydro-Québec’s preferential rates for dual-energy homes. What’s more, with the subsidies offered in partnership with Énergir, the transition to this heating mode is more accessible and beneficial.

How does a dual energy heating system work?

Dual energy heating alternates between two energy sources to maximize efficiency and reduce costs:

• In mild weather: Electricity is used first.
• In very cold weather: Natural gas takes over to maintain a comfortable temperature.

With this intelligent energy management, you benefit from economical, high-performance heating all year round.

What are the benefits of a dual energy heating system?

• Savings on your energy bill: Hydro-Québec offers preferential rates for dual energy customers.
• Performance and comfort: Automatic switching between energy sources ensures constant heat.
• Environmentally-friendly solution: Reduced natural gas consumption and GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions.
• Beneficial subsidies: Energir offers financial assistance to help you make the transition to dual energy.

Why choose Tran Climatisation for your dual energy heating system?

As an Energir-certified partner, Tran Climatisation can help you install, maintain and repair your dual energy heating system. We make sure your equipment complies with current standards and is optimized for your comfort.

We offer a full range of services:

Take the leap and change your oil heating system for an electric one with Tran Climatisation!

As of December 31, 2021, it is now forbidden to install an oil furnace in new homes. What’s more, as of December 31, 2023, you can’t replace your oil-fired heating system with a furnace of the same type. 

With the price of heating oil constantly on the rise, take the opportunity to ditch your oil heating system for a more efficient and economical electric heater! Tran Climatisation can convert your oil-fired heating system to an electric furnace.

What are the benefits of switching from oil heating to electric heating?

For many years, oil was used to heat our homes. However, oil releases significant quantities of carbon dioxide (up to four tons a year).

Fortunately, the latest innovations in home heating can improve our quality of life, while being better for the environment.

• Ecological: Choosing electricity over oil is an eco-responsible gesture. The production, transportation and use of heating oil are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Today, electricity, a clean energy, is at your fingertips.
• Safe: Electricity means improved safety. Unlike oil, it eliminates the risk of gas leaks or carbon dioxide emissions. Moreover, the absence of fuel and chimneys considerably reduces the risk of fire.
• Easy to use: Since all homes are connected to electricity, this heating method is extremely convenient. You won’t need to keep an eye on your fuel tank. An electric system is always ready to go, regardless of the season.
• Cost-effective: Heating with electricity is often more economical than oil. Without the costs associated with filling the tank and sometimes costly maintenance, electricity is a wise choice. What’s more, electric systems generally last longer than their oil-fired counterparts. (The average life of an oil furnace is 15 years, while an electric furnace can last up to 30 years).
• Compliance: Government and local regulations are evolving regarding the use of fuel oil. As of December 31, 2023, it will be forbidden to install or replace an oil-fired heating system with one that runs on fossil fuels in existing buildings. Repairs to furnaces over 20 years old and water heaters over 10 years old will also be prohibited. 

Since the conversion service can be costly, you can subscribe to the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program. Our advisors will be happy to help you with your grant application.

L’équipe de Tran Climatisation est là pour vous!

In addition to our regular services (except for repairs), Tran Climatisation can provide most of the services required to convert your system.

Did you know that, as of December 31, 2021, the installation of oil heating systems (furnace, boiler) in new construction is prohibited? What’s more, as of December 31, 2023, it will also be forbidden to replace your current oil-fired heating system with a newer model.

With the rising price of oil and the new measures in effect, it might be time to consider replacing your oil heating system with a wall-mounted or central heat pump. Tran Climatisation offers you a service to replace your oil heating system (furnace, oil), whatever its make and model, with a heat pump.

What are the benefits of replacing your oil furnace with a heat pump?

Although oil furnaces have long been considered efficient, they release large quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Moreover, they represent a danger of explosion and toxic leakage, as well as carbon monoxide poisoning.

Here are the benefits of replacing your oil heating system with a heat pump:

• Ecological: Choosing electricity for your heating is an eco-responsible gesture. The production, transportation and use of heating oil are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Electricity, a clean energy source, is at your fingertips.

• Safe: Unlike heating oil, electricity eliminates the risk of gas leaks, oil tank leaks or carbon monoxide emissions. What’s more, the absence of fuel and chimneys considerably reduces the risk of fire and poisoning.

• Easy to use: With all homes connected to electricity, this mode of heating is extremely convenient. You won’t have to keep an eye on your tank; your heat pump is always ready to go, whatever the season.

• Economical: Electric heating is proven to be more economical than oil. Without the costs associated with filling the tank and costly maintenance, electricity is an ideal choice. What’s more, heat pumps generally last longer than their oil-fired counterparts. When properly maintained, the lifespan of a heat pump is between 10 and 15 years.

• Compliance: Government and local regulations on the use of fuel oil are evolving. As of December 31, 2023, it will be forbidden to install or replace an oil-fired heating system with one that runs on fossil fuels in existing buildings. Finally, it will be impossible for Tran Climatisation to repair furnaces over 20 years old and water heaters over 10 years old after this date.

Although long used to heat our homes, oil-fired heating systems release greenhouse gases that seriously harm the environment.

On the positive side, advances in heating technology have the potential to enrich our daily lives while benefiting the environment. Here are some of the advantages of switching from oil heating to an electric system:

• Ecological: Opting for electricity rather than oil is an eco-responsible gesture. The production, transport and use of heating oil are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Today, electricity, a clean energy, is at your fingertips.

• Safe: Electricity is synonymous with safety. Unlike oil, it eliminates the risk of gas leaks, oil tank leaks or carbon monoxide emissions. What’s more, the absence of fuel and chimney considerably reduces the risk of fire.

Have your oil heating system converted to electric heating today with Tran Climatisation!

Did you know that, as of December 31, 2021, it is forbidden to install a heating system in new homes, and that as of December 31, 2023, it will become impossible to replace your oil heating system with a system of the same type?

With oil prices on the rise, you may want to consider changing your heating system. Tran Climatisation can convert your oil heating system to an electric furnace.

What are the benefits of switching from oil to electricity?

Although long used to heat our homes, oil-fired heating systems release greenhouse gases that are harmful to our planet.

The good news is that today’s heating innovations can improve both our quality of life and the state of our environment. Here are some of the advantages of switching from oil to electricity:

• Ecological: Opting for electricity rather than oil is an eco-responsible gesture. The production, transport and use of heating oil are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Today, electricity, a clean energy, is at your fingertips.
• Safe: Electricity is synonymous with safety. Unlike fuel oil, it eliminates the risk of gas leaks or carbon monoxide emissions. What’s more, the absence of fuel and chimneys considerably reduces the risk of fire.
• Easy to use: With all homes connected to electricity, this method of heating is extremely convenient. No need to keep an eye on your fuel tank; an electric system is always ready to go, whatever the season.
• Cost-effective: Heating with electricity is often more economical than oil. Without the costs associated with filling the tank and costly maintenance, electricity is a wise choice. What’s more, electric systems generally last longer than their oil-fired counterparts.
• Compliance: Government and local regulations are evolving regarding the use of fuel oil. As of December 31, 2023, it will be forbidden to install or replace an oil-fired heating system with one running on fossil fuels in existing buildings. Repairs to furnaces over 20 years old and water heaters over 10 years old will also be prohibited.

Since the conversion service can be costly, you can subscribe to the Affordable Oil to Heat Pump Conversion Program. Our advisors will be happy to help you with your subsidy application.

The air conditioner extracts heat from the ambient air and transfers it to the outside. The split air conditioner is composed of an indoor unit, an evaporator and an outdoor unit, a condenser, which are connected by a refrigerant duct.

What are the benefits of an air conditioner?

Montreal’s South Shore summer weather can become unbearable, not because of the heat, but because of the humidity. If you equip your home with an air conditioner, you will contribute to the reduction of humidity in your home and the well-being of its occupants.

Properly calibrated and installed by a qualified Tran Climatisation technician, your air conditioner will allow you to enjoy the comfort of fresh, humidity-free air. In addition, an Energy Star rated air conditioner will provide you with increased energy efficiency and savings on your electricity bills. Here are the two main types of air conditioners on the market:

• Wall Mounted Air Conditioner: The wall mounted air conditioner (or “split” air conditioner) consists of an outdoor unit (condenser) and an indoor unit (evaporator or diffuser). The latter should be mounted on the top of a wall in the largest room. The condenser and evaporator should be installed close to each other. A wall-mounted air conditioner is quieter and less expensive to buy. Be sure to calculate the area to be cooled in order to determine the exact capacity of your air conditioner (BTU capacity).
• Central air conditioning: Central air conditioning is installed in your existing heating system. If you install an air conditioner, you will need to add wall ducts. However, you can add a dehumidifier for better humidity control.

The main advantage of central air conditioning is that this type of system distributes fresh and dehumidified air in a more uniform manner. Moreover, if you already have a central heating system, the installation of a central air conditioner will be simplified since it does not require the addition of extra wall ducts. Another important aspect to consider before buying a central air conditioner is the size of your home. This will allow you to choose the ideal amount of power in BT/U, so that your central air conditioner is well calibrated and remains economical.

In addition to keeping you cool in the summer, wall-mounted air conditioning removes humidity from the warm air. Also called split air conditioning, the wall-mounted air conditioning system does not require the installation of additional ducts; only the duct containing the refrigerant is needed to connect the evaporator and the condenser, among other things.

Be sure to calculate the surface area to be cooled (see the table of BT/U for more information) in order to know the capacity of your air conditioning system. All of our wall-mounted air conditioners are Energy Star qualified, guaranteeing high energy efficiency and energy savings.

An air conditioner is an economical and efficient way to cool your home during heat waves. Since it strips the warm air of the ambient humidity, it ensures an unequalled comfort and quality of life to your family during the too hot days. Make sure you know the surface to be air conditioned in order to choose an air conditioner powerful enough to ensure your comfort at all times. An air conditioner that is too powerful consumes too much energy, which will unnecessarily increase your energy bill.

Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence. A number of elements can create frost on your air conditioner. Here are some explanations to help you better understand this phenomenon:

• It is possible that there is interference in the airflow. This interference can result from clogged air filters, debris buildup in the evaporator coil, a deteriorated fan motor, and small, blocked or collapsed vents.
• It is also possible that the outdoor temperature is causing an icing problem. An outdoor temperature below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (or 15 degrees Celsius) can cause the outdoor unit to not work optimally. Also, if the temperature drops too drastically overnight, the air conditioner could end up frosting over.
• Problems with air conditioning refrigeration can also cause your outdoor unit to freeze. If the refrigerant (Freon) level is too low, or if there is a leak, it can cause a pressure drop in the air conditioner’s evaporator. Moisture in the air can freeze and clump in the coil. If this happens, contact a professional immediately.

What can you do to solve this icing problem?

Unfortunately, a layer of frost on your air conditioner is a clear sign that your unit has a problem. A frozen air conditioner means a decrease in cooling capacity. Don’t waste time and act quickly, as a frost breakout uses more energy and can seriously damage your air conditioner or heat pump.

If your air conditioner is frozen, here are some guidelines to follow:

• When you notice that your air conditioner is frozen, turn it off and let it thaw completely.
• When thawed, examine the airflow and then clean or replace your filters. This may take care of some of your icing problems.
• If freezing problems continue even after your filters have been cleaned and replaced, call a professional right away. Freon leaks, larger air leaks or other problems require expert attention. It is not advisable to do a repair yourself: a certified technician will know exactly what to do.
