Oil to Heat Pump Transition
Key planning considerations for homeowners evaluating an electrification project.
Every property is different. Use this overview as a planning aid, then confirm current program requirements and technical recommendations for your specific project.
01
Assess loads and comfort
Review the building envelope, room-by-room needs, existing distribution, and how the home performs through winter and summer.
02
Choose the right system
Compare ducted, ductless, and mixed approaches based on layout, zoning, cold-weather performance, and installation constraints.
03
Plan electrical readiness
Panel capacity, circuits, backup strategy, and future electrification goals should be considered alongside HVAC selection.
04
Sequence the work
Coordinate weatherization and system installation so improvements complement one another and avoid rework.
