Graham Little, a director with the Insurance Bureau of Canada, says your ability to get insurance as a heat pump user may depend on the company. (CBC News: Compass)
“In our province, they don’t work particularly well at below –25. You can’t get insurance without having a backup to your heat pump,” Smith said.
Little said the insurance coverage may depend on the company, adding, “I wouldn’t say that every company looks at it universally.”
But he added: “As the technology in these units gets better and better and better, many of them are capable of going down to far lower temperatures and still providing efficient heat.”
