The different heating systems for your home

Choosing the right heating system depends on your current energy source, your home's layout, and your energy-saving goals. Here are the most common heating technologies in Quebec:

Electric furnace
The electric furnace is the most common heating system in Quebec, thanks to the relatively low cost of Hydro-Québec electricity. It heats air and distributes it throughout the home via a network of ducts. Installing an electric furnace is generally simpler and less expensive than a gas system, though energy consumption can be high during extreme cold.
Natural gas heating
Natural gas heating is a popular option in areas served by the gas network (Énergir). Modern gas furnaces reach efficiency ratings of 95% or higher, resulting in energy savings compared to older models. Installing a gas heating system requires a certified contractor and compliance with strict RBQ standards. Propane systems are an alternative for homes not connected to the natural gas network.

Heat pump
The heat pump is the most efficient heating technology on the market. It extracts heat from the outside air to warm your home, even in cold weather. Modern models operate efficiently down to -25°C and offer a coefficient of performance (COP) of 2 to 3, meaning that for every dollar of electricity consumed, the pump produces the equivalent of 2 to 3 dollars in heat. Government grants cover up to $5,000 for the installation of an eligible heat pump.
Electric radiators and baseboards
Electric radiators and baseboard heaters are the simplest heating units to install. They require no ductwork and connect directly to your electrical circuit. However, their energy efficiency is limited—every watt consumed produces one watt of heat, without the multiplier effect of a heat pump. They are best suited as supplemental heating or for rooms that are difficult to connect to a central system.

Hot water boiler
A hot water (hydronic) boiler distributes heat through radiators or radiant floor heating. This system provides gentle, even warmth without the drafts associated with forced-air systems. While installation is more complex and costly, the comfort level is superior. Boilers can run on natural gas, propane, or electricity.

How do you choose the right heating system?

Choosing the right heating system depends on several factors specific to your home and your energy needs:

Available energy source:

Electricity (throughout Quebec), natural gas (in Énergir service areas), propane (rural areas). Your current energy source directly impacts installation and operating costs.

1
Home configuration:

Homes with existing ductwork → central furnace or heat pump. Homes without ducts → wall-mounted heat pump, electric baseboards, or hydronic boiler.

2
Budget and long-term savings:

Heat pumps have higher installation costs, but they reduce energy bills by 30% to 50%. Over 10 years, the savings easily offset the initial investment.

3
Energy efficiency:

Look for Energy Star certified appliances. The AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating for gas furnaces should be at least 95%. For heat pumps, aim for an HSPF of 10+ and a COP greater than 2.

Electric furnace
$2,500 – $5,000
Unit + installation + commissioning
Natural gas furnace
$4,000 – $7,000
Unit + gas connection + commissioning
Central heat pump

The final price depends on the required capacity (in BTU), the chosen brand (Goodman, Gree, Comfort Aire, DirectAir, Maxiair), and any additional work required (duct modifications, adding an electrical circuit, or bringing the system up to code).

Grants for heating system installation

Government grants are available to encourage replacing energy-intensive heating systems with more efficient technologies:

  • Chauffez vert program (Hydro-Québec): Up to $5,000 for the installation of a heat pump
  • Rénoclimat program: Financial assistance for energy efficiency upgrades
  • Municipal grants: Some cities offer additional incentives
  • Federal programs: The Canada Greener Homes Grant can cover a portion of the costs

In total, you can save up to $5,400 on your heating installation project. Our team handles the administrative paperwork to maximize your rebates.

Standards and regulations in Quebec

Heating system installation in Quebec is regulated by the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ). Work must be performed by a contractor holding a valid RBQ license. For natural gas or propane systems, additional inspections are required. Confort Prestige holds all necessary certifications and is a member of the CMMTQ — our installations meet the highest industry standards.

Heating system maintenance

Regular maintenance of your heating system ensures its longevity and efficiency:

  • Replace or clean filters every 1 to 3 months during the heating season
  • Have the system inspected by a certified technician once a year (ideally before winter)
  • Check the thermostat and carbon monoxide detectors (for gas systems)
  • Clear snow and debris from outdoor vents and air intakes
  • Bleed hot water radiators at the start of the season if applicable
