What to check when hiring heat pump installers in Canada
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
How to judge a heat pump installer
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- A heat pump install combines electrical work (electrical permit + licensed electrical contractor: ESA/Technical Safety BC) with refrigerant handling: the technician must hold a refrigerant-handling certificate, and any gas (for a hybrid system) needs a licensed gas technician (TSSA/Technical Safety BC).
- The system must be sized to your home with a heat-loss/heat-gain calculation: a cold-climate heat pump rated for Canadian winters is not the same as a mild-climate unit.
- Many installs qualify for federal or provincial rebates that may require an EnerGuide energy assessment and registered advisor: confirm eligibility is preserved.
- Membership of HRAI is a useful voluntary credential; check liability insurance and a current WCB/WSIB clearance, and get permits/inspections arranged.
Warning signs of a rogue contractor
- No refrigerant-handling certificate, or the electrical isn't done by a licensed contractor under permit.
- Quotes a unit on the spot with no heat-loss calculation or cold-climate rating.
- Promises a rebate without the required energy assessment.
- No proof of insurance or WCB coverage, and no clear warranty.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Does the technician hold a refrigerant-handling certificate, and who does the permitted electrical?
- Did you do a heat-loss calculation, and is the unit cold-climate rated?
- Will the work keep me eligible for any rebate, and is an energy assessment arranged?
- Do you carry liability insurance and a current WCB/WSIB clearance, and what's the warranty?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy heat pump installer?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A heat pump installer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend heat pump installers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Heat pump installers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a heat pump installer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the heat pump installer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
