Before you get heat pump quotes in New Brunswick
The first tip comes from the program’s own steps. Each program’s rules come first.
- How Total Home works in N.B.
- Register online or call 1-800-663-6272 and choose a service organization. Pay the $99 + HST fee to the energy advisor at the initial evaluation (it covers both visits).
- Ask for a cold-climate model
- Most Canadian rebates require a cold-climate air-source heat pump on NRCan's qualified product list. Ask each installer for the exact outdoor and indoor model numbers so you can check them.
- Insist on a heat-loss calculation
- Proper sizing comes from a room-by-room heat-loss calculation, not the size of your old furnace. An oversized unit cycles more and costs more; an undersized one leans on backup heat.
- Plan the backup
- Decide with your installer whether you keep a furnace as backup (a hybrid system) or go fully electric. The choice can change which rebate tier you qualify for.
