Replaces our AC with a new heat pump in Ottawa and the whole experience was outstanding. From the first call, Dustin was incredibly responsive and communicated clearly every step of the way. He cut through all the usual sales fluff and got straight to what mattered — options, costs, timelines, and what made the most sense for our home. They addressed every concern I had, explained the details discussed my technical questions, and handled the installation quickly and professionally. The quality of the work is excellent, everything was done cleanly, and the system has been running perfectly since. Pricing was fair and transparent, and there were no surprises. It’s rare to find a company that combines speed, honesty, and solid workmanship like this. Highly recommended.

Pembroke HVAC Services for Homes Moving Off Oil and Propane
Cold-climate heat pumps sized for Valley winters
Pembroke HVAC work looks different from the city. A lot of homes here still heat with oil, propane, wood or electric baseboards, and every delivery or hydro bill reminds you of it. We replace or back up those systems with cold-climate heat pumps rated to -30°C, sized for winters that sit well below -20°C, and we handle the rebate paperwork so you get every dollar you qualify for.
- Higher rebate tier for homes on oil, propane, wood or baseboards
- Heat pumps sized from a heat-loss calculation, not a guess
- Ductless options for older homes with no ductwork
- One written price that holds, with 0% financing on approved credit

Heating and cooling in Pembroke without the oil tank
A cold-climate heat pump pulls heat from outdoor air, even at -30°C, and moves it inside. It runs on electricity, so there are no fuel deliveries, no tank to watch and no flame in the basement.
For homes off natural gas, this is where the numbers get interesting. The Home Renovation Savings Program offers up to $7,500 for a qualifying cold-climate heat pump when the home is heated by electricity, oil, propane or wood. That's the higher tier, and many Valley homes land in it. Pre-approval has to be in place before installation, and program terms can change, so we confirm eligibility first.

Signs your Pembroke home is ready to switch
If any of these sound like your winter, a heat pump conversion is worth pricing.
The oil truck bill keeps climbing every season
Heating oil costs swing with the market and you pay for every fill. A heat pump moves most or all of your heating to electricity, and in most homes it delivers two to three units of heat for every unit of power it uses in mild weather.
Your insurer keeps asking how old the oil tank is
Once a heat pump is carrying the heating load, you can plan the tank's retirement on your own timeline. Many homeowners keep the oil furnace as backup for a season, then have a licensed fuel oil contractor remove the tank.
Baseboards leave cold floors and a painful hydro bill
Baseboards turn one unit of electricity into one unit of heat. A ductless or ducted heat pump uses far less power for the same warmth, and baseboard-heated homes usually qualify for the higher rebate tier.
You ran short on propane during a cold snap
With a heat pump doing most of the work, the propane furnace becomes backup heat only. You burn far less and fill far less often.
The wood stove roasts one room and leaves the rest cold
A multi-zone ductless system puts a head in each living area so heat reaches the bedrooms too. Keep the stove for cozy evenings, not survival.
Older house, no ductwork, no idea where a system would go
Ductless mini splits need only a small hole through the wall for the line set. We plan head locations room by room and run the lines neatly outside.
You've heard heat pumps can't handle the Valley
Older models struggled. Today's cold-climate units are rated to -30°C, and we size them from a heat-loss calculation with backup heat planned for the rare nights colder than that.

Efficient Home Improvements truly went above and beyond. Our furnace failed on Christmas Eve in Ottawa, and their team stayed up late (3:00am) that night to replace it. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and dedication during the holidays were exceptional. The work was completed efficiently, and everything was explained clearly. It’s rare to find a company willing to sacrifice their own holiday time to ensure a customer’s home is warm and safe. I highly recommend Efficient Home improvements to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate service.
We had a heat pump/AC unit installed by EHI, on time, on budget, great workmanship. Julian and team were knowledgeable and courteous. Dustin communicated well and is managing our government rebate for the new efficient system. Thank you Team!
Recently got a shiny new heat pump installed. Went very well, nice unit and it works soooo quietly. These fine folks were very easy to deal with, professional and thourough. Would highly recommend.
I recently had a new furnace and tankless water heater installed by this company. Excellent service by both office and technicians , I highly recommend!
The Installers were great.. Got in and got the job done..the furnace works amazing compared to the old one !!! Need a furnace..A/C water tankless system..there your guys!!!!
Had a tankless water heater installed and couldn’t be happier. The installation was quick, professional, and the system works great — endless hot water and more efficient than my old tank. Highly recommend!
Dustin and his team were really responsive and helpful in getting us a new heat pump to replace our broken AC unit. The team went above and beyond helping us through the process and answering other questions about the house we recently moved in to. I would highly recommend Efficient Home Improvements for any of your HVAC needs.

Frequently asked questions
How much rebate can a Pembroke home heated with oil get?
A Pembroke home heated with oil can qualify for up to $7,500 toward a cold-climate heat pump through the Home Renovation Savings Program, based on the size of the heat pump. You need that pre-approval before the install, and the program's rules can change.
Can a heat pump be my only heat in the Ottawa Valley?
It can, when it's a cold-climate model sized from a proper heat-loss calculation and paired with backup heat such as an electric air handler. Many Valley homeowners keep their existing furnace as backup instead, which works well too.
What happens to my oil tank after the heat pump goes in?
That's up to you. Some homeowners keep the oil furnace as backup for a while, and others have a licensed fuel oil contractor remove the tank once the heat pump is running.
Will my hydro bill go up if I switch from propane?
Your hydro bill will rise, but your propane bill drops sharply or disappears. We compare both before you decide, so you can see the likely net change for your home.
Will you repair my furnace in Pembroke, or only sell heat pumps?
Yes. Our TSSA-certified gas technicians repair furnaces in Pembroke and the surrounding Valley, and we'll tell you honestly whether a repair or a heat pump makes more sense.
Is there an HVAC contractor in Pembroke who serves Petawawa and Renfrew?
Our crews serve Pembroke, Petawawa, Renfrew and the communities around them, working from our office in Stouffville. Install dates are set around your calendar.
