Have you been wondering if a heat pump is right for your home?  REAL is pleased to announce a new heat pump advisory service. 

Our energy advisor, Alan Leonard, has recently completed specialized training that will allow him to provide you with important information that can help you and your contractor select the best heat pump system for your home.

The heat pump advisory service includes:

• CSA F280 Compliant Heat Loss/Heat Gain calculations, which are built on the results of the Energuide audit, and determine the amount of heating and cooling your home needs to properly size a heat pump and optimize comfort
• Duct flow measurement using a specialized TrueFlow meter, which will help your contractor understand which heat pump systems will be compatible with your current ductwork.
• Electrical panel capacity assessment, to help you understand whether or not it is likely that an electrical panel upgrade will be required when switching to a heat pump.

If you already had an EnerGuide pre-retrofit audit done by REAL recently, haven’t had the post-retrofit audit done and you are considering installing a heat pump, then we can come back to do the heat pump/duct testing for just $100.  If you have had a post-retrofit audit done then we can still do the heat pump/duct analysis but at a higher fee because we won’t have the pilot project funding.  Call for more information and a price quote.  

REAL is a registered non-profit charity.  Our fees are tax free, and all proceeds support environmental projects in our community.   

Alan is taking bookings now.  See our webpage for the regions we can serve.  An extra charge may apply to homes over 80 km from Smiths Falls.
