Air-to-Air Heat Pump
A highly efficient heating and cooling system that draws heat from the outdoor air — eligible for Hydro-Québec's LogisVert rebate based on the unit's capacity.
Step by step
How Air-to-Air Heat Pump installation works
-
An RBQ-licensed contractor enrolled in LogisVert assesses your home, your heating system and the capacity required.
-
They select an appliance from Hydro-Québec's list of eligible equipment.
-
The outdoor unit and indoor head(s) are installed — usually in a single day.
-
The system is commissioned and tested; you receive the documents needed for the rebate application.
-
The contractor (or you) submits the LogisVert application to Hydro-Québec after installation.
