Should you buy a heat pump or Air conditioner? To answer this you need to know a little bit of statistics about heat pump usage in Canada. Only 6% of entire population in Canada use heat pump. So why government want to give you $5000 Rebate for buying heat pump? Answer is government want to minimize the production of carbon monoxide. Instead of using natural gas furnace for heating your home for most of the time , Government want you use heat pump as much possible to minimize the use of natural gas and thus reduce carbon monoxide emission. Heat pump uses electricity not natural gas. So Government developed a plan called Hybrid Heating which means that when it is too cold outside you should warm up your home using heat pump and when outside is too cold it should automatically switch to GAS furnace to heat up your home . In summer time you can use the same heat pump as AC.
