What is a heat pump?
A heat pump is a heating and cooling system that moves heat from one place to another, instead of creating it the way a furnace does. In the winter, it pulls heat from the outside air (even on cool Surrey days) and brings it inside. In the summer, it reverses the process and removes heat from your home, cooling it down, just like an air conditioner.
Because it moves heat rather than burns fuel or using electric resistance, a heat pump can be much more efficient than many traditional heating systems, especially in Surrey’s mild, damp climate. This efficiency is why many homeowners see lower energy bills after their system is correctly installed.
Nation can help you choose the right type of heat pump for your home and explain how it works in simple, easy‑to‑understand terms.
When to Consider a Heat Pump Installation
A good time to consider a heat pump installation in Surrey:
- Your current furnace or air conditioner is aging or failing.
- You’re frequently dealing with repairs and rising energy bills.
- You want to add cooling or improve comfort in different seasons.
- You want to take advantage of rebates or energy‑efficiency incentives.
Nation Furnace Heating can help you plan a heat pump installation before your old system breaks down in the middle of Surrey’s rainy season.
Our Heat Pump Installation Process
Nation Furnace Heating’s heat pump installation process includes:
Installation of indoor and outdoor units
We install the indoor air‑handling unit and the outdoor condenser in locations that balance performance, noise, and access.
Connection of units to the home’s existing heating and cooling systems
We connect the heat pump to your existing ductwork and controls, ensuring everything works together smoothly.
Connection of units to the air duct system
We integrate the system with your existing ducts (and upgrade them if needed) so airflow is even throughout your home.
Testing of the units for functionality and safety
We run the system under real‑world conditions, checking airflow, temperature rise, and safety controls to make sure everything is working safely and efficiently.

How heat pumps can save you money in Surrey
Heat pumps are designed to move heat rather than generate it, which makes them far more efficient than many traditional heating systems. That extra efficiency can translate into smaller numbers on your BC Hydro bill, which, let’s be honest, is a rare treat in this province.
Nation Furnace Heating can help you understand how a heat pump may:
- Lower your hydro and gas use by replacing or supplementing older furnaces or electric‑resistance heaters.
- Reduce your long‑term operating costs by running at a higher efficiency, especially during the long stretches of mild, rainy weather BC is known for.
- Take advantage of BC‑style incentives, such as rebates from BC Hydro or FortisBC, which can help offset the upfront cost of installation.
We won’t promise your bill will disappear overnight, but we can help you make it shrink a little each winter.

If you’re already thinking about a heat pump, you might also want to explore a dual‑fuel system: a combination of a high‑efficiency gas furnace and a heat pump. In Surrey’s mild, damp climate, a dual‑fuel setup can give you the best of both world:
The efficiency and lower running costs of a heat pump in mild weather. The reliable, cold‑weather backup of a gas furnace on the chilliest nights.
Some homeowners in Surrey and Metro Vancouver can qualify for FortisBC incentives when upgrading to a high‑efficiency dual‑fuel system. In certain cases, these rebates can cover a significant portion of the installation cost, effectively turning the upgrade into a long‑term savings move rather than a big upfront expense.
For more information, checkout the City of Surreys Rebate Guide
Nation Furnace Heating can help you understand whether a dual‑fuel system makes sense for your home and whether you may qualify for FortisBC or other utility‑linked incentives. If you’re eligible, this type of upgrade can help you:
- Further reduce your energy bills across both heating and cooling seasons.
- Lower your household’s carbon footprint compared with older, less efficient systems.
- Enjoy consistent comfort year‑round, without relying on one technology alone.
If you’re curious whether your home might qualify for dual‑fuel rebates or want to learn more about the payback time on the upgrade, we can walk you through the details and show you what’s realistically possible for your Surrey home.
What to look for in a heat pump
Since heat pumps are becoming more common, it’s worth understanding what to look for so you can choose a system that matches your comfort needs and budget. Choosing the right one can make a real difference in how comfortable your home feels, and how much you pay on your energy bills over time.
Here are the main features to focus on:
Comfort and control
Look for two‑stage or variable‑speed heat pumps, which run longer at lower speeds for steadier temperatures and less noise.
Energy efficiency
Check the HSPF2, SEER2, and EER2 ratings, higher numbers usually mean better efficiency and lower running costs.
Humidity and indoor comfort
Two‑stage and variable‑speed models tend to manage humidity better, helping your home feel more comfortable without stuffiness or dryness.
System fit
The best choice depends on your home size, layout, and existing ductwork. Nation Furnace Heating can help you pick a heat pump that balances comfort, efficiency, and budget for your Surrey home.
If all of that sounds a bit technical or overwhelming, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Give Nation a call and we’ll walk you through everything in plain language and help you choose the right heat pump for your home.

Common Questions about Heat Pumps
How much does it typically cost to install a heat pump in Surrey?
Most heat pump installations in Surrey fall in the mid‑four-to-five‑figure range, starting around $6950, depending on your home size, system type, and whether ductwork or electrical upgrades are needed. Energy‑efficient models and dual‑fuel setups tend to cost more upfront, but they can save significantly over time. Nation Furnace Heating can give you a clear, no‑surprise quote after assessing your home and system needs.
How much should I expect to pay for labor to install a heat pump?
Labor is a big part of any heat pump installation and usually depends on system complexity, ductwork, and electrical work. Nation Furnace Heating bundles labor, permits, and system checks into one clear price so you aren’t hit with surprise line‑item charges.
What is the BC rebate for heat pump installation?
Many homeowners in BC can qualify for rebates from programs like BC Hydro Power Smart and FortisBC, which can reduce the upfront cost of a high‑efficiency heat pump. These rebates vary by program, income, and system type, and Nation can help you understand whether you qualify and how much you might save.
How can I qualify for a heat pump rebate in BC?
To qualify for common BC‑style heat‑pump rebates, you typically need:
● A primary residence that meets age and size requirements.
● A licensed, registered contractor (like Nation) performing the installation.
● A high‑efficiency, approved‑model heat pump.
We handle the paperwork and can walk you through the eligibility steps.
What is the downside of having a heat pump?
The main downsides are:
● Upfront cost ($6950+) can be higher than some traditional systems.
● Performance drops in very cold conditions (though this is less of an issue in Surrey’s mild climate).
● Rebates and incentives can change or run out.
We can help you weigh the pros and cons for your home and decide whether a heat pump or a
dual‑fuel system is the better fit.
Why is my bill still high with a heat pump?
Even an efficient heat pump can lead to high bills if:
● The system is undersized or oversized.
● There are air leaks, poor insulation, or zone‑control issues.
● The thermostat is set too high in winter or too low in summer.
Nation ensures you get a properly sized unit tailored to your home. Share your home’s square footage and current unit details for a precise audit. We can inspect your system and home to pinpoint issues and suggest fixes that lower costs.
How long does heat pump installation take in Surrey?
Most installations take one day, with some larger jobs taking longer. We’ll always explain the timeline before we start.
Do I need a permit for a heat pump in BC?
Some installations require permits, especially if there are electrical or gas line changes. We handle all permits and safety checks as part of the job.
Can a heat pump replace my furnace?
In many homes, yes. Nation Furnace Heating can help you decide whether a heat pump alone is enough or whether a hybrid dual‑fuel system makes more sense.
How do rebates and incentives work for heat pumps in Surrey?
Some homeowners qualify for rebates from BC Hydro or FortisBC. We can help you understand whether you’re eligible and how the incentives apply.
Is a heat pump right for my home?
Nation Furnace Heating can assess your home’s size, insulation, and existing HVAC setup to determine whether a heat pump is the best fit.
