Sample report. This is the exact report you receive, run on an example Vernon home — a gas-heated house whose measured signature sizes a cold-climate heat pump and prices the switch against BC Hydro and FortisBC rates.

Heat Pump ROI Report

Measured from your bills — not a rule of thumb. Sample — no elevation lapse correction (site ≈ ERA5 grid cell).

3P-H · FIT PASSED

Balance point 15.5 °C · fit CV(RMSE) 6.2%

Baseload: 54.8 GJ/yr
Heat-loss (UA): 250 W/°C
Space-heat share: 56%
Anomaly periods: 0

Heat-pump sizing (bin analysis)

Mitsubishi Zuba Central 3-ton (PUZ-HA36NKA, cold-climate ducted)

Compressor: 5,066 kWh/yr
Aux (resistance): 0 kWh/yr
HP balance point: -22.5 °C

Below the heat-pump balance point the compressor can't meet the load and electric backup (aux) makes up the deficit — counted separately, never blended into the COP.

Operating cost (marginal rate)

HP electricity: $748 CAD/yr
Gas displaced: $993 CAD/yr
Gas basic (kept): $162 CAD/yr
Annual saving: $246 CAD/yr

Priced at the marginal tier your added load lands in — a blended average would understate it by $116 CAD/yr.

Payback

~8 YR

Simple payback is ~8 years against a ~15-year equipment life.

Equipment: $13,000 CAD
Install labour: $5,000 CAD
Rebates: −$16,000 CAD
Net install: $2,000 CAD

The no-regret call

Heat Pump Favourable

The envelope, load split, and payback all point the right way — a heat pump is a defensible move for this building at current rates and rebates.

Estimates from a measured energy signature and published utility rates and rebate programs, for planning only — not an engineered heat-loss calculation, a rate quote, or a guarantee of rebate eligibility. Equipment performance is modelled from the NEEP cold-climate ASHP directory rating points for the named unit; real installed performance varies with ducting, refrigerant charge, and controls. Confirm sizing, rates, and rebates with a licensed contractor before purchasing.
