Heat Pump Installation
London Ontario — Rebates Up to $6,500
Modern cold-climate heat pumps work efficiently through a London Ontario winter — including our coldest nights. Hawana designs, supplies, and installs whole-home and ductless heat pump systems, and we handle all Canada Greener Homes and Enbridge rebate paperwork so you get every dollar you're owed.
Do Heat Pumps Actually Work in London Ontario Winters?
This is the most common question London Ontario homeowners ask — and the honest answer is yes, but only if you choose the right technology. Standard heat pumps lose efficiency below -5°C and are not suitable for a London winter. Cold-climate heat pumps from brands like Mitsubishi (Zuba-Central), Daikin (Fit), and Bosch are engineered to operate efficiently at -25°C to -30°C — well below London's average winter low.
Most London Ontario homeowners install a dual-fuel system: the heat pump handles heating efficiently down to around -15°C, and the gas furnace takes over for the coldest nights. This gives you the best of both — heat pump efficiency for 90% of the heating season, gas reliability for extreme cold.

What London Ontario Homeowners Say

"Had Hawana install a Mitsubishi dual-fuel system — heat pump paired with our existing furnace. The difference in our hydro bills through fall was immediately noticeable. Abdullah walked us through the rebate process and we got $4,800 back. Could not have navigated that ourselves."
"Got a ductless mini-split installed in our older home that doesn't have ductwork. Hawana was honest that a central system wasn't feasible for us and recommended the right solution instead. Installation was clean and done in a day. Very professional, no upselling."
"Replaced my old AC with a cold-climate heat pump. Hawana recommended the Daikin Fit for our two-storey home. The unit ran through the February cold snap without issue and the furnace backup only kicked in a handful of times. First Hydro bill after install was 28% lower than the year before."
