Do heat pumps work in Nunavut's climate?
Yes. Nunavut is in climate zone 8. 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.
Nunavut's extreme cold (design temps below -40°C) and remote logistics make conventional heat pumps impractical in most communities. Diesel and fuel oil remain primary heating sources. Ground-source systems are being piloted in Iqaluit.
