Central AC vs. Heat Pump — Which to Choose in Toronto
A heat pump provides both cooling (same as central AC) and heating (replacing or supplementing your furnace). In Toronto’s climate, cold-climate heat pumps (Mitsubishi Hyper Heat, Daikin, Bosch) now operate efficiently to -15°C and below. With Ontario rebates up to $5,000, a heat pump is often the right choice for Toronto homeowners replacing an old AC.
