Heat Pump Installation
For Nova Scotia Homes
Most heat pump conversations around here start with an oil bill. Ace Refrigeration sizes and installs cold-climate heat pumps across the HRM — matched to your house, your existing heating, and the winters we actually get.
Sized for the House,
Not the Sales Brochure
A heat pump loses capacity as the temperature drops, so a unit sized for a mild day leaves you short in February. We calculate the heat loss for your house, specify a cold-climate rated system against it, and tell you plainly what the existing furnace or baseboards will still be doing on the coldest nights.
- ✓Rated for Our Winters We specify cold-climate models and check their published output at low outdoor temperatures, not just the headline rating on a mild day.
- ✓Placement Planned First Outdoor units go up off the ground and clear of the drip line so snow and roof melt cannot bury or ice them. Indoor heads go where the air can actually circulate.
- ✓Rebates Sorted Out Nova Scotia runs rebate programmes for heat pump upgrades, especially for homes coming off oil. We confirm what your job qualifies for and help with the paperwork.

Which Heat Pump Suits Your Home
The right answer depends on whether you have usable ductwork, how the house is laid out, and what you are heating with now.
Single-Zone Ductless
One outdoor unit, one indoor head. The usual choice for an open main floor or a single room that never gets comfortable.
Ask About Ductless →Multi-Zone Ductless
Several indoor heads on one outdoor unit, each with its own control. Useful in older houses with closed-off rooms and no ductwork.
Ask About Multi-Zone →Ducted / Central
A central air handler feeding the whole house through ductwork. No wall units, even temperatures, and it cools in summer too.

What Halifax Homeowners
Say About Ace Refrigeration
My friend recommended Mark's company to me for heat pump installation services and all I can say is that if you are installing air conditioning units in Halifax you must go to him. He has a very flexible schedule and can serve clients as quickly as possible. The service was very professional from quotation to installation and it was a very pleasant experience.
We had an urgent heat pump issue at our home and contacted Mark, he responded promptly and scheduled a check in within an hour. Once he arrived he quickly diagnosed the problem and proposed a range of solutions. He also took the time to explain each option, ensuring I understood the implications and costs involved. Will happily recommend to others!
I had an urgent issue with my Heat pump system and contacted Ace Refrigeration for assistance. I must say, their response time was impressive.
