After the 2021 heat dome brought punishing temperatures to B.C., Jordan Caton’s clients told him they slept in crawl spaces or in their car with the air-conditioning on to beat the heat.
Those motivations include lower energy bills, getting off less-efficient and fossil fuel-burning systems, getting cooling amid warming summers and taking part in the move to electrification. Coastal Heat Pumps crews are serving customers everywhere south of Ladysmith on daily basis. Caton said the industry is going strong right now as people are looking to get off fossil fuels or are just wanting greener living in general.
People’s motivations also change with the seasons. Caton said more people call them about cooling during the warmer months, especially if they live in upper floors of older condos that don’t have air conditioning. When fall rolls around, Sasquatch’s clients are usually concerned about their inefficient baseboards leading to higher bills over the winter. After moving to the region and seeing how common those systems were, Morton soon realized many on the South Island were still using another inefficient system - oil heating.While heat pumps offer a dual use, making the switch also gives people more peace of mind knowing they’re not burning a tank of oil in their home.
Previous BC Hydro and provincial programs awarded $6,000 – not including municipal top ups – for those switching off natural gas, propane or oil heating, while a program geared toward lower-income households delivered $9,500 for heat pumps.
