Replacing an old heat pump or switching from a furnace, oil or baseboard? Here's how a Ladysmith install works with Norm's.
Heat pumps in Ladysmith
What does it take to install a heat pump in a Ladysmith home?
A home visit, an honest look at your current system, and a heat pump sized to your house. Norm's installs, replaces and services heat pumps in Ladysmith, from ducted systems that use your existing ductwork to ductless units for homes without ducts. Expert installation is what makes a heat pump last and run efficiently, so our technicians install every system with precision and care, then walk you through it before we leave.
Signs your heat pump needs replacing
- Strange noises coming from the unit
- Weak airflow through the house
- A noticeable spike in energy bills
- Struggling through the colder months
- It's 12 years old or more

Switching fuels
Can I switch from oil or baseboard heat to a heat pump in Ladysmith?
Yes. We convert Ladysmith homes from oil furnaces to heat pumps, including removing the old oil tank, and we fit ductless heat pumps in homes heated by electric baseboards. Switching from oil, propane, gas or electric baseboard changes how much rebate you can get, so we check that first. If you'd rather keep gas for the coldest nights, a dual fuel system pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace.
Rebates
How do heat pump rebates work for Ladysmith homeowners?
Rebates can take a big piece off a heat pump or high efficiency furnace, but the rules matter. Programs need a registered contractor and some need pre-approval before work starts. Our rebate team checks the CleanBC Better Homes, Home Renovation Rebate and FortisBC programs for your home, lines up the model numbers, invoices and forms, and coordinates EnerGuide evaluations when they're needed. Financeit monthly payment options can spread the rest.
Equipment
What brand of heat pump does Norm's install?
Mostly Bryant. Norm's is a Bryant Factory Authorized and NATE dealer and a 2x Bryant Medal of Excellence winner, and we also install Carrier ductless systems. That gives us swift access to top-tier equipment from industry-leading brands, and every install is backed by our no-hassle warranty.
What to expect
What should I expect after the install?
A system that's been tested before we leave, a thermostat you know how to use, and the warranty registered. After that, plan on one service visit a year: Technical Safety BC recommends annual servicing for home heating equipment, and many warranties require proof of it. Keep leaves, snow and garden growth clear of the outdoor unit.
