When the furnace finally gives out on a cold night in February, most Torontonians panic and replace it with another gas furnace. But you're thinking ahead. This webinar shows you how to prep your home for a heat pump—from electrical panel capacity to insulation gaps to ductwork tweaks.

Torontonians burn A LOT of gas to heat our homes. It's our city's #1 source of pollution — more than cars, more than power plants. Toronto's #1 polluter is gas furnaces. 

Heat pumps are a big upgrade from furnaces - imagine consistent warmth in every room, lower energy use, and cooling in summer too. But getting there takes a bit more thought than a simple swap. Our speakers will walk you through the prep work to set your home up for heat pump success.
