Do heat pumps work in Manitoba's climate?

Yes. Manitoba is in climate zone 7A. Modern cold-climate heat pumps (ccASHP) operate efficiently to -25°C or below. System sizing and backup heating requirements vary by region within the province.

Manitoba's extreme cold (design temps below -30°C) demands cold-climate rated units. Ground-source heat pumps are popular where lot size permits. Manitoba Hydro offers low electricity rates.
