Heat pumps heat and cool your home using one outdoor unit—so you get summer AC and efficient heating out of the same system. Amana’s side-discharge heat pumps are a great fit for Ottawa homes because they’re compact, quiet, and designed for variable-speed comfort (less temperature swing, less on/off cycling).
We keep this simple: we size the system properly, confirm airflow and ductwork are a fit, and commission it with real readings. If a heat pump is the right choice, we’ll tell you. If a different option makes more sense for your home or budget, we’ll tell you that too.
These are the main Amana series we standardize on for Ottawa installs. We also have even more budget-friendly options available; we just prefer to talk through those on site so the trade-offs are clear.
Q1: Do heat pumps work in Ottawa winters?
Yes—when the equipment selection, setup, and backup heat plan are done properly. The “works on paper” part is easy. The install quality is what makes it feel good day-to-day.
Q2: What’s the real difference between AZV9 vs. AZV7 vs. AZV6?
AZV9 is our premium option with the highest efficiency and cold-climate focus; AZV7 is the high-efficiency step-down; AZV6 is the value option when budget leads the decision. The right choice depends on your home, your comfort goals, and whether rebates matter.
Q3: Is a heat pump loud?
These systems include quiet operation features, and some models offer quiet-mode sound settings (setup matters).
Q4: Do I need to replace my furnace to add a heat pump?
Not always. We’ll look at what you have and recommend the simplest setup that achieves your goal (comfort, efficiency, rebates, or all-electric).
We’ll help you pick the right tier, confirm rebate direction, and quote it clearly.
