Heat Pumps

Energy-Efficient Comfort for Vancouver Island Homes

Heat Pumps for Vancouver Island Living

Smart, Efficient Comfort All Year Round

At Beaufort Sheet Metal & Heating, we specialize in installing high-performance heat pumps that provide reliable, year-round comfort for homes and businesses across Vancouver Island and the Alberni Valley. Heat pumps are one of the most efficient ways to heat and cool your home — combining advanced technology with eco-friendly operation and long-term cost savings.

Whether you're replacing an aging furnace, upgrading your home's heating and cooling system, or looking to qualify for FortisBC

and CleanBC rebates, our team can help you choose the right heat pump for your needs, budget, and property layout.

We proudly install Fujitsu heat pumps, known for their cold-climate performance, energy savings, and whisper-quiet operation — all tailored to handle the unique conditions of coastal BC.

Year-Round Comfort with One Energy-Efficient System

Heat pumps provide both heating and air conditioning in a single, streamlined unit. On Vancouver Island — where damp winters and warm summers are the norm — this dual-function system delivers consistent indoor comfort without the need for separate furnaces or AC units.

With advanced inverter technology and cold-climate engineering, modern heat pumps (like Fujitsu’s Airstage™ and Halcyon™ systems) keep your home cozy in January and cool in July — all while using up to 60% less energy than traditional systems.

Save Money

Lower Energy Bills + Access to Major Rebates

Installing a high-efficiency heat pump can lead to significant cost savings

on monthly utility bills. These systems use electricity to move heat rather than create it, making them up to 300% more efficient

than electric baseboards or oil systems


On top of that, Vancouver Island homeowners can take advantage of

FortisBC, and CleanBC meaning thousands in savings available for qualified installs.

Switching to a heat pump isn’t just smart for your home and family — it’s smart for your wallet.

Local Expertise, Trusted Installations

Serving the Alberni Valley and The Mid Island

We’ve installed hundreds of heat pump systems in homes, cabins, and commercial properties across the Alberni Valley — from the heart of Port Alberni to the quiet, forested lots of Cherry Creek, the lakefront homes of Sproat Lake, and the growing neighborhoods in Beaver Creek.

We also regularly serve west coast communities like Tofino and Ucluelet, where reliable, efficient heating and cooling is essential for oceanfront homes that face salt air, wind, and damp conditions year-round. Whether it’s a rural property up a logging road or a family home downtown, we understand the terrain, the climate, and the specific demands of Vancouver Island living.

As a locally owned and operated business, we don’t subcontract our installations — our crew handles every part of the job. That means no surprises, no shortcuts, and no waiting around for someone from out of town. You get direct, personalized service from people who live and work right here in the Valley.

Every install is customized to your space — we consider your home’s layout, insulation, usage patterns, and long-term energy goals to ensure your new heat pump performs exactly how it should.

When you work with Beaufort Sheet Metal & Heating, you're not just upgrading your home — you're working with a team that understands the region, respects your investment, and stands behind their work long after the job is done.
