Why I Built This

Canada's climate is extreme—massive temperature swings, deep freezes, and long winters that push every part of a home to its limits. Yet most heat pumps installed here aren't designed for any of it. They're built for milder regions in the U.S. or Asia and then blindly installed in Canadian homes with no adaptation and no real accountability for how they perform. Homeowners end up paying the price.

I wanted to change that.

R290 (propane) is the breakthrough the industry keeps overlooking. It's cleaner, dramatically more efficient, and—most importantly—it performs better in cold weather. Paired with a monoblock design that keeps the entire refrigerant circuit outside the home, it creates a system that's simpler, safer, and actually suited to how Canadians live.

This started as a garage project with a clear mission: build a heat pump for Canada, in Canada. Not imported. Not repurposed. Designed from the ground up for our winters, our housing stock, and our expectations of reliability.

Every decision—efficiency, durability, ease of installation—has been shaped by our climate and our values.

And now, this isn't just a product. It's a statement:

Canada deserves heat pumps engineered here, built here, and proven here. Purpose-built for our climate—not just "good enough" for it.

Why R290 (Propane)?

  • ✓ Superior cold-weather performance
  • ✓ Near-zero global warming potential
  • ✓ More efficient than traditional refrigerants
  • ✓ Stays outside your home (monoblock design)

Why Choose R290?

A better heat pump for Canadian homes. Efficient, environmentally friendly, and built to last.

R290 Refrigerant

Uses propane (R290) instead of harmful fluorinated gases. Near-zero global warming potential.

Cold Weather Performance

Optimized for Canadian winters. Maintains efficiency down to -25°C and beyond.

Monoblock Design

All refrigerant stays outside your home. Only water circulates indoors for safety.

Easy Installation

Simpler than traditional split systems. Connects to just two water loops.

Energy Efficient

High COP (Coefficient of Performance) means lower energy bills year-round.

Low Maintenance

Fewer components exposed to weather. Designed for long-term reliability.

Cost Effective

Competitive pricing with lower operating costs. Qualifies for rebates.

Made in Canada

Designed and manufactured in Canada for Canadian climates and homes.

Traditional Heat Pump

  • Refrigerant Lines Indoors
    Requires refrigerant piping throughout your home
  • Complex Installation
    Needs certified HVAC technician for refrigerant work
  • Leak Risk
    Harmful refrigerants can leak inside your home
  • Poor Cold Performance
    Efficiency drops significantly in Canadian winters

R290 Monoblock

  • Only Water Indoors
    R290 stays outside - only hot/cold water circulates inside
  • Simple Installation
    Connects to two water loops - similar to a boiler
  • Safe & Clean
    No harmful refrigerants in your living space
  • Optimized for Cold
    R290 performs better in extreme cold temperatures

How It Connects to Your Home

1

Hot Water Loop

Delivers heated water to radiators, underfloor heating, or fan coils

2

Cold Water Loop

Provides chilled water for cooling during summer months
