Heat Pumps
Toronto homes come in all shapes, sizes, and ages - from East York semis and bungalows to renovated two-storeys and newer infills. Sunnyside Heating and Air Conditioning helps homeowners choose the right heat pump system for their home, with expert installation and support from a trusted, owner-operated team with 25+ years of experience.
A modern, cold-climate heat pump can handle both heating and cooling, reduce your utility bills, and create a more comfortable space all year long - even on cold Toronto winter days.
Why a heat pump is right for your Toronto home.
Year-Round Comfort (Heating + Cooling)
Heat pumps heat in winter and cool in summer - replacing your AC and working alongside or instead of a gas furnace.
Works in Toronto Winters
Modern “cold-climate” heat pumps work reliably in sub-zero temperatures. Many homeowners pair them with a furnace in a hybrid setup.
Perfect for Older or Ductless Homes
Toronto is full of charming homes with… questionable ductwork. Heat pumps (especially ductless mini-splits) offer zone control and comfort without renovations.
Environmentally Friendly
Reduce your carbon footprint while staying warm - an increasingly popular choice across Toronto.
Lower Energy Bills
Heat pumps move heat instead of creating it, making them far more efficient than traditional systems.
Types of heat pumps we install.
Ducted Heat Pumps
Ideal for homes with existing ductwork.
✔ Replaces or works with your furnace
✔ Quiet, efficient operation
✔ A great option for full-home comfort
Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps
Perfect for East York and Toronto homes without central ductwork, including:
✔ Older brick semis
✔ 1.5-storey homes
✔ Attic or basement suites
✔ Home additions
Allows zone-based heating and cooling - more comfort, less wasted energy.
Hybrid Heat Pump Systems
The best of both worlds:
✔ Heat pump for mild-to-cold days
✔ Furnace backup for extreme cold
This is one of the best choices for East York’s fluctuating winter climate.
