Project Overview: Boosting Home Efficiency with Carrier Heat Pump

For this residential HVAC upgrade, we installed a Carrier condenser installation, focusing on heat pump wiring upgrade and CEC compliant heat pump standards. The outdoor heat pump unit provides reliable heating/cooling, with heat pump electrical connection via 240V heat pump circuit and low voltage wiring for controls. This mini split heat pump Nanaimo project reduces bills by 30-50%, integrating seamlessly with smart home integrations.


Key features: Energy star certified for heat pump energy savings BC, winter-ready for heat pump winter performance BC, and rebates via heat pump rebates BC. Our Red Seal team handled everything from site prep to testing, ensuring no downtime.

Detailed Project Components and Installation

  System Installed: Carrier outdoor unit (inverter-driven for variable speed), ideal for ductless heat pump Parksville climates.
Electrical Wiring and Integration:
Heat pump disconnect box (weatherproof), conduit setup for protection, GFCI protection, and surge protection to safeguard the heat pump compressor wiring.
Mechanical and Structural Elements: Heat pump mounting brackets (elevated on plastic/concrete for vibration damping), refrigerant lines insulated, gravel pad for drainage.
Safety and Compliance: Overcurrent protection, grounding wire, TSBC permit compliance, and clearance requirements met for safe operation.
Project Timeline and Scope: Completed in one day, including refrigerant charging and testing.
Heat pump installation cost: $3,000-$8,000 CAD, offset by residential heat pump rebates.

This setup pairs well with solar grids for max efficiency.
