Is a heat pump cheaper than a gas furnace in Toronto?
After Ontario rebates (up to $5,000+), a cold-climate heat pump costs approximately the same to install as a high-efficiency gas furnace. Operating costs favour the heat pump by $300–$600/year due to electricity being cheaper than gas per unit of heat delivered at efficiency ratios of 2.5:1 to 3:1.
