If you are searching for who installs heat pumps in Markham, the short answer is Aire One Heating & Cooling. We are a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer headquartered right here at 2800 John Street, we have installed heating and cooling systems across Ontario since 1990, and we install the cold-climate heat pumps that Markham winters actually require. Just as important: with heat pumps, the installer is not a detail. Rebate eligibility, correct sizing and real cold-weather performance all depend on who does the work. Here is what that means for your home.
Why the Installer Matters for a Heat Pump
A heat pump is not a furnace. It heats and cools from one system, and it is sensitive to how it is specified and installed. Choosing the right team for heat pumps in Markham matters for long-term performance. Choosing the right installer directly affects three things:
- Rebate eligibility. Ontario's heat pump rebates require the system to be a qualifying cold-climate model from Natural Resources Canada's list, installed by a licensed, registered contractor. The wrong installer, or the wrong equipment, can disqualify you from thousands of dollars in rebates.
- Correct sizing. An oversized or undersized heat pump wastes money and never quite keeps up. Proper sizing to your home is what delivers the efficiency the equipment promises.
- Cold-weather performance. A true cold-climate heat pump keeps heating your home in deep winter. Getting the right model and a correct installation is the difference between comfort and running expensive backup heat all season.
How a Cold-Climate Heat Pump Works
A heat pump does not burn fuel to make heat. It moves heat. In summer it works like a high-efficiency air conditioner, pulling heat out of your home. In winter it runs in reverse, drawing warmth from the outside air, even well below freezing, and bringing it inside. Modern cold-climate models are engineered to keep heating efficiently through a Canadian winter, which is exactly why they qualify for the largest rebates available. Because one system handles both heating and cooling, a heat pump can simplify your whole setup, on its own or paired with a furnace as a hybrid system.

Rebates and What They Cost
Cold-climate heat pumps qualify for some of the largest home energy rebates available in Ontario, through the Home Renovation Savings Program and related incentives, as long as the equipment is on Natural Resources Canada's qualified list and installed by a licensed contractor. Rebate amounts and program terms change frequently and should be confirmed on the day you buy. For a current breakdown of heat pump prices, rebates and real-world savings in Ontario, see Aire One's detailed guide, Heat Pump Cost in Ontario. When you book an assessment, our team confirms which equipment and rebates apply to your home before you commit.

Because the system is sized and installed properly, you get the efficiency the manufacturer promises and the rebates you qualify for, not a powerful unit that runs expensive backup heat all winter. That is the difference a licensed, experienced installer makes over the life of the system.

A heat pump often works best as part of a wider comfort setup, and Aire One handles all of it from our Markham headquarters: heat pumps and ductless systems, furnaces and central heating for hybrid setups, air conditioning, water heaters and tankless units, plus indoor air quality and maintenance plans.
