Heat Pump Electrical Hookups (HVAC Separate)
Electrical connections for new heat pump installations (in collaboration with HVAC teams)
Code-Compliant Electrical Connections for Residential Heat Pumps
Installing a heat pump is a smart, energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home, but before it runs, it needs safe and proper electrical wiring. At Fine Electric, we provide licensed electrical hookups for heat pumps in Langley, Surrey, White Rock, Delta, and across the Lower Mainland. Whether your heat pump is part of a new build, a retrofit, or a high-efficiency upgrade, our electricians ensure it's connected correctly and to code.
We work directly with HVAC contractors, general contractors, and homeowners to coordinate seamless, stress-free installations.

Collaboration with your HVAC installer for correct load sizing and location
We do not install the HVAC system itself, but we ensure the power it needs is professionally delivered and safely connected.
Panel Requirements for Heat Pumps
Most residential heat pumps require a 240-volt circuit and a breaker ranging from 20 to 60 amps, depending on system size and manufacturer requirements. The actual load varies based on whether the system includes backup electric heat or multiple heads.
Your home’s panel must have both physical space and electrical capacity to support the new circuit. If the panel is full or your current service (typically 100 amps) is nearing capacity, a panel upgrade or load management system may be required. We handle the full assessment and will recommend the most cost-effective and safe solution.

Heat Pump Rebates and Incentives in BC
BC homeowners may be eligible for CleanBC rebates of up to $6,000 when switching from fossil fuel heating to an electric heat pump system. While the rebates are primarily for the HVAC equipment, some programs allow for partial reimbursement of required electrical upgrades, such as panel replacements or subpanel installations.
Check betterhomesbc.ca for the latest rebate details. Our team can provide load calculations and invoices to support your application.
Do heat pumps require a dedicated circuit?
Yes. A heat pump must be on its own dedicated circuit, sized appropriately for the unit’s electrical load and manufacturer specifications.
Can you wire a heat pump in an older home?
Yes, but your panel may need upgrades or a load management system. We assess each situation to ensure safety and compliance.
Do you install heat pumps?
No, we do not supply or install the HVAC unit itself. We handle the electrical connections required to power the system safely. However, we partner with HVAC companies to ensure full-service installations for our customers.
