Free Heat Pump Assessment – Call NowWith Ontario pushing hard toward electrification and rising gas prices, cold-climate heat pumps have become the #1 upgrade choice for London homeowners in 2026. These systems heat efficiently down to -25°C or lower — no backup furnace needed in most cases — and qualify for big rebates. As owner and lead TSSA-certified technician at Hawana HVAC Solutions, I’ve installed dozens of these units across London, St. Thomas, Strathroy, Woodstock and beyond. Here’s my unbiased 2026 guide to the best cold-climate heat pumps for Southwestern Ontario homes.
