How Do Heat Pumps Work?
Unlike furnaces and boilers that generate heat by burning fuel, heat pumps work by redistributing heat. They extract heat from the air or ground outside your home, compress the refrigerant, and then push warm air inside during the winter months. In the summer, the process reverses, and heat pumps act as air conditioners by moving warm indoor air outside. This dual functionality means you don’t need to invest in separate heating and cooling appliances, making heat pumps a smart and cost-effective solution.
Advantages Of Heat Pumps
There are numerous compelling reasons to switch to a heat pump.
-
They’re good for the environment. Heat pumps use electricity and don’t produce any emissions. Consequently, installing one in your home or business can reduce your carbon footprint over the short and long term, especially if you switch from natural gas or oil.
-
They’re safe. Heat pumps have fewer safety concerns than combustion-based heating systems because they rely solely on electricity and don’t need to burn fuel.
-
They’re energy efficient. Heat pumps serve as both a furnace and an air conditioner. This makes them very energy efficient. In fact, they put out more cool and warm air by volume than the energy required to run them.
-
They have a long lifespan. When properly maintained, heat pumps can last over 20 years, ensuring you get your money’s worth.

Cold climate performance: Modern cold climate heat pumps ensure you stay warm even during the coldest Canadian winters
Modern heat pumps are designed to be efficient in temperatures as low as -30 °C. However, if you’re concerned about staying warm during periods of intense cold, you can supplement your heat pump with a backup heat source, such as electric heaters or baseboards.
Heat Pump Installation Services: New, Replacement, and Conversion
At Black Forest Heating, we offer comprehensive heat pump installation services designed to fit your home’s specific needs. Whether you want to install a heat pump for the first time, replace an aging or inefficient unit, or convert your existing furnace and air conditioner system to a heat pump, we have the expertise to get the job done right.
We install a variety of heat pump types, including:
-
Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pumps: Engineered to operate efficiently even in temperatures as low as -30°C, these units provide reliable heating during harsh Canadian winters without sacrificing cooling performance in the summer.
-
Ductless Heat Pumps (Mini-Split Systems): Perfect for homes or additions without existing ductwork, ductless systems offer flexible, zone-based temperature control. These systems consist of one or more indoor units mounted on walls, floors, or ceilings, connected to an outdoor compressor. They are minimally invasive to install and highly energy efficient.
Our technicians will assess your home’s layout, heating and cooling needs, and existing infrastructure to recommend the best heat pump system for you. Whether ducted or ductless, Black Forest Plumbing ensures your heat pump installation is seamless and optimized for maximum comfort and efficiency.
Heat Pump Repair and Maintenance Services
Like any mechanical system, heat pumps require regular maintenance and occasional repairs to keep running efficiently. Black Forest Heating offers expert heat pump repair and maintenance services to extend the life of your system and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Common issues we address include refrigerant leaks, compressor failures, frozen coils, sensor problems, and electrical faults. Our technicians are available 24/7 for emergency repairs, ensuring your home remains comfortable throughout the year.
Routine heat pump maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, and ensuring optimal airflow. Regular tune-ups not only improve performance but also help you avoid costly repairs down the line.
