Canada’s net-zero goals have put the onus on industries to find more energy-efficient options. In the HVAC world, dual-fuel heat pumps are a compelling solution for homeowners seeking both comfort and cost-efficiency, with more than 260,000 heat pumps installed across the country as of June 2025. But in harsh Canadian winters, just how well can a dual-fuel heat pump perform?
Modern dual-fuel heat pumps have greatly evolved from earlier heat pump systems, particularly in their ability to perform effectively in extreme cold conditions. The key to the evolution of this technology lies in advanced inverter-driven compressor technology that allows systems to modulate output based on demand, rather than operating at full capacity or shutting off entirely, explains David Rames, senior product manager at Midea’s Research and Development Center in Louisville, KY.
