The demand for high-efficiency heating and cooling solutions is growing due to increasing energy costs, environmental concerns, and technological advancements in heat pumps.
While heat pumps have been available for decades, they’ve only experienced a surge in popularity and adoption in recent years, particularly in Canada, driven by factors like government incentives and increasing awareness of their energy efficiency.
“Heat pumps are not new but they’ve been gaining traction in the last five to 10 years with people recognizing their many benefits,” says Paul Gharghoury, Vice President of Sales, Canada at Granby Industries.
With increasing temperatures and climate change, the need for cooling is becoming more prevalent, and heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling in a single system, making them an attractive option for homeowners.
Granby Industries recently introduced a new residential heat pump, the Conforto Maximum Series Ducted Side Discharge Heat Pumps that leverages inverter technology to enhance comfort, control, and energy efficiency.
“This new addition to the Conforto product lineup is a testament to our commitment to providing our customers across Canada with alternative, high-performance solutions,” says Gharghoury. “By offering cutting-edge technology, exceptional reliability, and energy efficiency, the Conforto Maximum Series ensures that homeowners can stay comfortable all year round, even in the most challenging climates.”
Engineered with advanced inverter technology, these heat pumps are built to perform in temperatures as low as -30°C (-22°F) and deliver up to 18 SEER2 in efficiency.
The Conforto Maximum Series is equipped with cutting-edge features, ensuring year-round comfort while maintaining excellent energy efficiency. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are compatible with R410A refrigerant, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly option for homeowners. The heat pumps are eligible for various rebate and grant programs, including Canada Greener Homes, Ontario’s Home Renovation Savings and Quebec’s LogisVert Programs.
“These heat pumps offer big advantages including a compact size that is much smaller than the traditional units. They are designed for quiet operation and the side discharge design offers higher efficiency,” says Gharghoury. “The size and design allows the heat pumps to be conveniently stacked against a home with minimal clearance.”
