Heat pump installation in Lantzville
What does it take to put a heat pump in a Lantzville home?
A home visit, an honest look at what heats the house now, and a system sized to your rooms. We check the ducts, the panel and which rooms run hot or cold before we recommend anything. Then you get options side by side, with the rebates each one qualifies for. Lantzville is a district situated directly north of the City of Nanaimo, incorporated as a municipality in 2003. Homes here come under the District of Lantzville. We cover Lantzville along with nearby Nanaimo and Nanoose Bay. We work out of our shop at 1940 Boxwood Road in Nanaimo.
Signs your heat pump needs replacing
- Strange or loud noises from the outdoor unit
- It runs on R-22, which is no longer made
- It's 12 years old or more
- Weak or uneven airflow around the house

Why does heat pump sizing matter so much?
Sizing decides how well a heat pump works for its whole life. Too small and it can't keep up on the cold days. Too big and it turns on and off too often, which wears it out and wastes power. We size each system to the house, its insulation and the rooms you use.
Permits
Do I need a permit for a heat pump install in Lantzville?
It depends on the job, and in Lantzville the local rules come from the District of Lantzville. The District of Lantzville issues its own building permits and books inspections through Cloudpermit (building@lantzville.ca, 250 933 8091). Gas work needs a Technical Safety BC gas permit taken out by a licensed gas contractor, and Norm's holds gas licence LGA000404. Rebate and permit details checked October 21, 2026. Programs change, so we confirm at your quote.
Monthly payment options
Can I spread the cost of a heat pump over time?
Yes. Through our partner Financeit you can see if you pre-qualify in seconds and pay monthly. Rates and terms depend on your approval, and we go over it at the quote.
Rebates
What rebates can Lantzville homeowners get for a heat pump?
It depends on what heats the house now and on your household, so our rebate team checks before anything is booked. Lantzville homes may also qualify for a local top-up. We confirm current amounts at your quote. Order matters: some programs need pre-approval before work starts. Financeit monthly payment options can cover what's left. Rebate and permit details checked October 21, 2026. Programs change, so we confirm at your quote.

Equipment
What brand of heat pump does Norm's install?
Mostly Bryant. We're Bryant Factory Authorized, and we fit Carrier ductless systems where they suit the home better. Every install is backed by our no-hassle warranty.
Gas or electric
Natural gas or electric in Lantzville?
FortisBC supplies natural gas across much of the Mid-Island. Availability depends on your street, and we check your address at the quote. With gas, a dual fuel system pairs the heat pump with a gas furnace for the coldest nights. Without it, the heat pump carries the heating on its own.

What customers say about our heat pump installs
Norms plumbing was professional and very helpful. We had a heat pump installed and they came back 1 year later to check up on it. They showed up early and they were friendly.
The guys from Norms Plumbing and Heating who did the heat pump installation for me were very professional. They knew what they were doing every step of the way. They worked well together as a team. They were friendly and polite. The electrician from Demar was also friendly and professional. I was very pleased with the job they did. I would defiantly recommend them all for heat pump installations.
