Estimate your installed heat pump cost
How the calculator works
The tool starts with a Canadian planning allowance by system type and home size, applies a regional adjustment, then adds a ductwork allowance where relevant. It deliberately returns a range rather than pretending an online calculator can replace a site assessment.
What the estimate cannot know
It does not know your measured heating load, panel capacity, duct static pressure, line-set length, local design temperature, equipment model, contractor margin or current programme eligibility. Use the result for budgeting and quote comparison.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate are online heat pump cost estimates?
They are useful for budgeting but cannot account for a home’s measured heating load, duct condition, electrical service, installation access, equipment pairing and contractor pricing. Treat them as planning ranges, then compare written local quotes.
Should I choose a heat pump by square footage?
No. Square footage can help create a rough planning estimate, but equipment capacity should be selected from a recognized heating and cooling load calculation such as CSA F280.
Do rebates reduce the contractor quote upfront?
It depends on the programme. Some incentives are point-of-sale or contractor-administered, while others require applications or documentation. Confirm current programme rules before signing a contract.
