Sales are growing so quickly that some installers wonder whether heat pumps could even wipe out the demand for new air conditioners in a few years and put a significant dent in the number of natural gas furnaces.

I mean you’re in SK, that’s kind of an extreme case. Most Canadians live in parts of the country with more moderate weather,

In Manitoba (which gets the same or worse winters as Sask) heat pumps can make sense.

But that’s because our electricity is much less expensive.
