Heat pump installation in Delta and the Lower Mainland

A heat pump heats and cools the same house. For many Lower Mainland homes, it can replace electric baseboards or an aging furnace, or sit beside a new gas furnace in a dual-fuel setup — if it is sized and installed for this climate, not guessed from a brochure.

Blueshore Mechanical is a locally owned contractor at 4586 62 St in Delta, BC. Since June 2019 we have installed, replaced, and serviced heat pumps across Metro Vancouver. We are Technical Safety BC licensed, staffed with Red Seal certified plumbers, insured and bonded, BBB A+ accredited, and a FortisBC Trade Ally.

Estimates are free. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with same-day service and 24/7 emergency heating response when a system fails.

Call (604) 728-2583 or request a free estimate. If you live in Delta, see also our page on Heat pump installation in Delta, including Ladner, Tsawwassen, and North Delta.

The three setups we usually discuss

Most site visits come down to one of three paths, based on the house you already have.

Ducted (central) heat pumps. If your home already has a usable forced-air duct system — common in many North Delta houses and in later-built homes in Ladner and Tsawwassen — a ducted heat pump can heat and cool through those ducts. We look at the ducts themselves. Leaky or poorly balanced ducts will limit even good equipment.

Ductless mini-splits and multi-splits. Some Delta and Vancouver-area homes were built with electric baseboards, a boiler and radiators, or ducts that are not worth reusing. A ductless system uses an outdoor unit and one or more indoor heads in the rooms that need heating and cooling. It can cover the whole home or a few priority rooms. We will say which of those we are quoting, and why.

Dual-fuel systems. Many gas-heated homes keep a new high-efficiency gas furnace as backup and add a central heat pump for most of the heating season, plus cooling in summer. Current FortisBC dual-fuel rebates may apply to eligible jobs, but the installer must be HPCN-registered at the time of installation. We explain that plainly on our Heat pump rebates in B.C. page.

We install and service all major brands, including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Carrier and Lennox.

Why a heat pump can work well in this climate

Coastal Metro Vancouver does not have Prairie winters, and outdoor temperatures here are often well within the range of a properly specified heat pump. The local issues we spend more time on are moisture, summer cooling, and a sensible place for the outdoor unit — with airflow, service access, and neighbours in mind.

We serve homes across the Lower Mainland, including Delta (Ladner, Tsawwassen, and North Delta), Surrey, Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Langley, and White Rock. If you are comparing a furnace-only replacement, see Furnace replacement in Delta. If you heat with a boiler and radiators or in-floor loops, see Boiler replacement in Delta — a heat pump may still be an option, but it is a different design conversation.

How a heat pump installation works with us

Call or request an estimate. Tell us how the home is heated and what you need. Call (604) 728-2583 or use the estimate form.
We visit the home. We look at the existing equipment, electrical or gas service, ducts or wall layout, and a realistic location for the outdoor unit. Photos help us prepare; they do not replace a visit.
You get a written scope and price. We explain the options, what is included, and which rebate programs, if any, could apply — including the limits below. Every install includes a 1-year labour warranty on our workmanship, starting the day the job is complete. Parts are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty (often 10 years or more when registered), and we register your equipment for you.
We schedule the work. Required permits, a careful install, and protection of the work area are part of the job.
We commission the system and walk you through it. You should leave with the paperwork, an explanation of the controls, and a system that was started and checked.

What affects the cost of a heat pump

We do not publish a one-size installation price, because a single ductless head is not the same job as a ducted replacement with electrical work. What usually moves the number:

The type of system (ducted, ductless, or dual-fuel) and the capacity it needs
A proper heat-load calculation, not a rule of thumb
The condition and layout of existing ducts, or the number and location of indoor heads
Electrical service, including any panel, circuit, or disconnect work
Line-set length, condensate routing, the pad or bracket, and how easy the site is to work in
Gas fitting and furnace work, if you are choosing a dual-fuel system
Removal and lawful disposal of the old equipment
Permits and commissioning

The estimate visit is free. You will have a written price before we start work.

Rebates: what is actually true today

Rebate rules change, and not every home qualifies. We will not quote a stacked “up to” total that mixes closed or ineligible programs.

As of late 2026, the Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed. Electrically heated homes may still have a BC Hydro (or matching FortisBC electricity) rebate for a qualifying heat pump that replaces a primary all-electric system. Many gas-heated Lower Mainland homes no longer have a standard any-income rebate for switching fully off gas; the usual remaining paths are the income-qualified CleanBC Energy Savings Program or a FortisBC dual-fuel system.

Blueshore Mechanical is not currently a member of the Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN). We are working towards registration. BC Hydro and FortisBC heat pump and dual-fuel rebates require an HPCN-registered contractor, so a heat pump we install today would not be eligible for those rebates. We will tell you that up front and talk about timing if a rebate is part of your decision.

Common questions

How much does a heat pump cost?

It depends on the house, the system type, and any duct, electrical, or gas work. The estimate is free, and you will get a written price. Request a free estimate.

Will a heat pump heat a Delta home in winter?

A properly sized heat pump is a good fit for the Lower Mainland climate, including Ladner, Tsawwassen, and North Delta. The important part is the heat-load calculation and a careful install.

Do I have to get rid of my gas furnace?

Not always. Some homes go all-electric; others keep a new high-efficiency furnace as backup. See Furnace replacement in Delta if a furnace-only swap is also on the table.

Can I claim a B.C. heat pump rebate if Blueshore does the install today?

Not for the main BC Hydro and FortisBC heat pump or dual-fuel offers, because those require an HPCN-registered contractor and we are not yet a member. We are working towards registration. Details: Heat pump rebates in B.C..

Do you only install heat pumps in Delta?

No. We are based in Delta and work across the Lower Mainland.

What if my heat pump or furnace fails at night?

Call (604) 728-2583. We offer 24/7 emergency heating and plumbing service, and same-day service when we can get to you.
