Frequently asked questions
Who installs heat pumps in Stratford?
Three shops physically based in Stratford passed our verification on July 16, 2026: Bick Heating and Cooling (Church Street, family-run since 2013, 4.7 stars across 63 Google reviews), Buchanan & Hall (Wright Boulevard, since 1950, the region's geothermal specialist), and Dave Davies (Frederick Street, Lennox Premier Dealer since 1991). For the Ontario rebate you must use a program-registered contractor and get pre-installation approval before work starts.
Is geothermal (ground-source) a realistic option near Stratford?
Yes — more than in most markets. Buchanan & Hall has installed ground-source systems in the region since the 1980s and is IGSHPA-listed, and rural Perth County acreages have the land a loop field needs. Ontario's Home Renovation Savings Program pays up to $12,000 for qualifying ground-source systems in homes not heated by natural gas, and $3,000 in Enbridge gas-heated homes (verified October 2026).
What heat pump rebates can Ontario homeowners get right now?
Ontario's Home Renovation Savings Program (checked against the official page October 16, 2026) pays by your current heating fuel: homes heated with electricity, oil, propane or wood get $1,250 per ton, up to $7,500, for a cold-climate air-source heat pump and up to $12,000 for ground-source; homes heated with Enbridge natural gas get $500 per ton, up to $2,000 ($3,000 ground-source). Your contractor must be on the participating list and get pre-approval before installation. The federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program closed to applications on July 31, 2026.
Does a heat pump work in an Ontario winter?
Modern cold-climate models are built for it — they're rated to well below -20°C and are the standard the Ontario and federal rebate programs fund. The rebates require a model on Natural Resources Canada's qualified products list, which is effectively a built-in quality floor.
Do I need ductwork for a heat pump?
No. If your house has forced-air ducts, a central heat pump swaps in relatively simply. If it heats with a boiler or baseboards, ductless mini-splits (one or more wall heads) are the usual fit — both styles qualify for the rebates if the model is NRCan-listed.
