Quality kitchen, bathroom, and whole-house renovations for Langley homes and new developments.
About Heat Pump Installation in Langley
Heat pumps are now the dominant choice for Vancouver-area HVAC upgrades. They heat in winter, cool in summer (the AC every Vancouver homeowner now wants after 2021's heat dome), and run on electricity — meaning compatibility with BC's net-zero direction and freedom from natural gas price volatility.
We coordinate the full upgrade: HVAC subtrade for installation, electrical work for the dedicated 240V circuit (and panel upgrade if needed — see Critical Load Panel), drywall patch around indoor units, and BC Hydro rebate paperwork.
Real Vancouver heat pump installation costs (before rebates):
| System type | Installed cost | Heats / cools |
|---|---|---|
| Ductless mini-split (1 zone) | $4,500 – $7,500 | 1 room or open space |
| Ductless multi-split (2–3 zones) | $8,000 – $15,000 | 2–3 rooms |
| Ductless multi-split (4+ zones) | $14,000 – $22,000 | Whole-floor or whole-house |
| Ducted central (replace gas furnace) | $12,000 – $25,000+ | Whole house, existing ducts |
| Cold-climate ducted + backup heat | $18,000 – $35,000+ | Whole house, premium tier |
BC Hydro / Province rebates available:
- Heat pump rebate: up to $3,000 (BC Hydro)
- Greener Homes Grant: up to $5,000 (federal)
- Income-qualified low-income top-up: additional $3,000 (BC Hydro)
- Combined potential rebate: up to $11,000 depending on eligibility
We handle rebate applications on your behalf — including the pre/post home energy audit if it changes your eligibility tier.
Common Vancouver scenarios:
- AC retrofit on a heat-only home. ~70% of pre-2010 Vancouver SFH have no AC. A 3-zone ductless mini-split adds AC + supplemental heat for $10–14K.
- Replace a 20+ year gas furnace. Federal carbon pricing makes this the right financial call now. Heat pump central system runs $14–22K installed, rebates can offset $7–11K.
- Heat pump + Critical Load Panel + EV charger combo. If you're upgrading the panel anyway (heat pump needs 30A breaker, EV charger needs 40A), bundle everything in one electrician visit. Combined cost typically $22–35K.

Running Cost Comparison: Heat Pump vs. Gas Furnace
| Scenario | Annual operating cost (Vancouver, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Gas furnace (efficiency 80%) | $1,800 – $2,400 |
| Gas furnace (efficiency 96%) | $1,400 – $1,900 |
| Heat pump (COP 3.0, standard) | $900 – $1,400 |
| Heat pump (cold-climate, COP 3.5+) | $700 – $1,100 |
Heat pumps typically cut heating bills by 40–60% compared to gas. With BC Hydro's existing tiered rates (Step 1: $0.099/kWh) and federal carbon pricing ($80/tonne on gas in 2026), the payback window for a heat pump upgrade has shortened to 6–10 years on average.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a heat pump keep my Vancouver home warm enough in winter? Yes — cold-climate heat pumps (Mitsubishi Hyper Heat, Daikin Fit, Bosch IDS) operate efficiently down to -25°C. Metro Vancouver rarely drops below -10°C. Most homes need only a 1–3 zone mini-split or a central ducted system. We recommend a heat pump model rated for at least -15°C performance for any Vancouver installation.
How noisy is a heat pump? Outdoor units produce 50–62 dB — similar to a refrigerator or quiet conversation. City of Vancouver noise bylaws require outdoor units to stay below 60 dB measured at the property line. We position outdoor units to respect setbacks, and recommend quieter models (Mitsubishi MUZ-FH series, Daikin FTXM series) for tight urban lots.
What maintenance does a heat pump require? Clean or replace air filters every 1–3 months (the single most important step). Annual professional servicing ($150–$250) checks refrigerant levels, cleans coil surfaces, and verifies electrical connections. Heat pumps typically last 15–20 years with regular maintenance — significantly longer than gas furnaces (12–15 years average lifespan).
Heat Pump Installation Services in Langley
Reno Stars serves both the City of Langley and Township of Langley with full-service renovations — kitchens, bathrooms, basements, cabinet refacing, and whole-house projects. Langley's housing ranges from older single-family homes in the City core and Murrayville to newer townhouse and estate-home developments in Willoughby, Walnut Grove, and Brookswood-Fernridge. Each neighbourhood has its own renovation character, and our team has worked across all of them.
Kitchen renovations are our most requested service in Langley. Many homes built in the 2000s now need their first kitchen refresh — replacing builder-grade laminate countertops with quartz, upgrading to soft-close shaker cabinetry, and installing under-cabinet LED lighting. Our real Langley kitchen projects range from $20,000 (modern white shaker with quartz) to $35,000 (full custom with waterfall island and premium appliances). We bring samples to your home so you can see materials in your own lighting.
Basement renovations in Langley are especially popular for creating legal secondary suites. Township of Langley actively encourages suite development in certain zones, and we handle the full process from design to final inspection. A typical Langley basement suite conversion costs $40,000–$65,000 and can generate $1,500–$2,000/month in rental income — the ROI is excellent for homeowners looking to offset their mortgage.
Cabinet refacing is another high-demand service in Langley. Rather than a full kitchen renovation, refacing lets you update door fronts, drawer faces, and hardware while keeping the existing cabinet boxes. This saves 40–60% versus a full replacement and takes just 5–7 days with minimal disruption. We offer spray-painted, thermofoil, and solid-wood door options in dozens of colours and styles.
For Langley's rural and semi-rural properties in areas like Fort Langley, Campbell Valley, and south Brookswood, we also take on larger-scope projects including deck construction, garage conversions, and whole-house upgrades. Our team handles all permits through the Township and coordinates with utility providers as needed.
All Langley projects include a 3-year workmanship warranty, written quotes with no hidden fees, and free on-site estimates within 48 hours.

A kitchen renovation in Langley typically costs $22,000–$45,000 for a mid-range remodel — new cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, and appliances.

BC Hydro offers up to $3,000 for heat pump installations, the federal Greener Homes Grant adds up to $5,000, and income-qualified low-income households can stack an additional $3,000 BC Hydro top-up — combined potential up to $11,000. Eligibility depends on home energy audit results and income. We help with the paperwork.
Modern cold-climate heat pumps maintain full heating capacity down to -25°C — well below Langley winter lows. We size the system based on your home's heat loss calculation, not just square footage. For homes that lose heat fast (poor insulation, lots of glazing), we add backup heat for the coldest 5-10 days per year.
Yes — this is called a dual-fuel or hybrid setup. The heat pump runs as the primary heat source and the gas furnace kicks in only on the coldest days. It costs more upfront but avoids the carbon-tax penalty on most heating days while keeping a backup. We recommend dual-fuel for homes that already have a working gas furnace.
