Why Kepler is our second focus brand
We install more Midea than anything else, and Kepler is the brand we reach for right beside it. Here's why a Kepler cold climate heat pump earns a spot on our trucks.
Built for the Canadian market. Kepler is sold and supported for Canadian winters, with cold-climate models rated to keep heating at -30°C. That covers a cold snap in Sudbury, never mind a mild one in Mississauga.
Quiet and compact. The outdoor units are small enough for a tight side yard or a townhouse backyard, and the inverter compressor runs slow and quiet most of the time. Neighbours tend not to notice it's there.
Honest value. Kepler gives you cold-climate heating, central cooling and inverter efficiency at a price that often lands below comparable name-brand systems. When the budget is tight and the heat-loss numbers still call for a real cold-climate unit, Kepler is the answer.
Rebate-ready models. We quote Kepler models with NRCan's qualified products list in hand, so a qualifying system can bring back up to $7,500 through the Home Renovation Savings Program. Confirm eligibility before installation; program terms can change.
Kepler heat pump sizes for Ontario homes
Kepler covers 1.5 to 5 ton. We size by heat-loss calculation, and these ranges show roughly where a typical Ontario home lands.
| Kepler size | Typical home | Installed from |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 to 2 ton | Condo townhouse, small bungalow, cottage or addition on its own ducts | $5,500 |
| 2.5 to 3 ton | Bungalow, semi or two-storey up to about 2,000 sq ft | $5,500 plus |
| 4 to 5 ton | Larger two-storey or older home with higher heat loss | Quote |
Installed pricing depends on size and installation requirements such as ductwork, electrical work and whether you keep a gas furnace as backup. Every quote is guaranteed. Prices are before rebates.
Who a Kepler heat pump is right for
Tight lots and townhouses
A compact Kepler outdoor unit fits a narrow side yard, under a deck or on a wall bracket where a bigger cabinet won't go.
Gas homes going hybrid
Pair Kepler with your existing furnace or a new Lennox or Midea furnace. The heat pump carries the shoulder seasons and the furnace covers the coldest nights.
Hybrid systemsSmaller homes and cottages
The 1.5 and 2 ton sizes suit small bungalows, cottages and additions where other brands start too big and short cycle.

Problems a Kepler heat pump solves
Your AC died and the furnace is on borrowed time
A Kepler cold-climate heat pump does both jobs from one outdoor unit, using your existing ductwork. One install, one warranty registration, one piece of equipment to maintain.
Heat pump quotes came in way over budget
Kepler brings cold-climate heating and inverter efficiency at a lower price point. We'll show you a Kepler and a Midea quote side by side so you can see the difference for your own home.
Electric, oil or propane heating bills are out of control
A Kepler heat pump delivers two to three units of heat per unit of electricity, even in cold weather, and homes on those fuels get the higher rebate tier of up to $7,500.
The old outdoor unit roared and the neighbours mentioned it
Kepler's inverter compressor runs at low speed most of the time and is noticeably quieter than an older single-stage AC. We also set it on a riser or bracket with anti-vibration pads.
The side yard is too narrow for a standard heat pump
Kepler outdoor units are compact. We measure clearances for airflow and defrost drainage and often fit one where a larger cabinet simply won't go.

Looking for a Kepler furnace or Kepler air conditioner?
Our Kepler focus is the cold-climate heat pump, and it already works as a central air conditioner from May to September, so a Kepler heat pump is the Kepler air conditioner. For the gas furnace half of a hybrid system we pair Kepler with a Lennox furnace or a Midea MGH96, both two-stage and variable-speed. Ask us which combination makes sense for your home and fuel.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Kepler heat pump cost installed in Ontario?
A Kepler heat pump installed by EHI starts at $5,500, and most central systems in the 2 to 3 ton range come in below comparable premium brands once ductwork and electrical work are included. Your quote is guaranteed before any work starts, and a qualifying model can return up to $7,500 through the Home Renovation Savings Program.
Does a Kepler heat pump work at -30°C?
Yes. Kepler cold-climate heat pumps are rated to keep heating at -30°C, which covers nearly every winter night across Ontario. For Northern Ontario homes or anyone who wants extra backup, we pair it with a gas furnace or an electric air handler with auxiliary heat.
Is a Kepler heat pump eligible for the Ontario heat pump rebate?
A Kepler heat pump is eligible when the exact model and size are on NRCan's qualified products list, which we check before quoting. Pre-approval must be in place before installation, so we file it first and confirm your eligibility. Program terms can change.
How quiet is a Kepler heat pump?
Kepler heat pumps are quiet enough that most homeowners stop noticing them after the first week, because the inverter compressor runs at low speed for most of the day. We also place the unit away from bedroom windows and on anti-vibration mounts.
What size Kepler heat pump do I need?
Kepler sizes run from 1.5 to 5 ton, and the right one comes from a heat-loss calculation of your home rather than square footage alone. As a guide, 1.5 to 2 ton suits small bungalows and cottages, 2.5 to 3 ton suits most two-storeys up to about 2,000 square feet, and 4 to 5 ton suits larger homes.
Who registers the Kepler warranty and can you get parts?
We register your Kepler warranty with the manufacturer as part of the installation, and as an authorized dealer we have access to Kepler parts and technical support for the Canadian market. Extended coverage of up to 12 years parts and labour is available on select systems. See our warranty page.
Kepler or Midea, which should I choose?
Both are cold-climate heat pumps rated to -30°C that we install and stand behind, so the choice usually comes down to budget, available sizes and the features you want. Midea EVOX G3 is our first recommendation; Kepler is the value pick that often wins on price and fits tighter spaces. We quote both so you can decide.
