Will a heat pump lower my energy bills?Potential savings depend on your current heating source, the equipment selected, your home's heating needs and local energy rates. Greater equipment efficiency does not automatically mean lower bills compared with natural gas. Our team can help you consider the costs and benefits for your home.
-
Can I keep my existing furnace?Some heat pump systems can be paired with a compatible existing furnace. The answer depends on your equipment, ductwork and controls. Our team can assess compatibility and explain your options. Technical compatibility and rebate eligibility must both be confirmed for the proposed installation.
-
Can a heat pump work in Saskatchewan?Cold-climate heat pumps are designed to operate at low outdoor temperatures. In Saskatchewan, a supplementary heating source is needed when conditions exceed the heat pump's operating range or heating capacity. A properly designed system can combine a heat pump with a furnace or another backup heat source. Centennial can assess your home and recommend suitable options.

What is a heat pump?A heat pump uses electricity to transfer heat into or out of your home. In summer, it cools your home like an air conditioner. In heating mode, it draws heat from the outdoor air and transfers it indoors. The outdoor unit looks similar to an air conditioner.
