“FIXED A LONG STANDING ISSUE I HAD FROM POOR INSTALLATION BY ANOTHER COMPANY!”
The two technicians Tanner and Halim were excellent, did a great job, very tidy, and identified 2 problems with my heat pump head, and fixed a long standing issue I had from poor installation by another company!
Thank you very much, looking forward to using Greenfoot again.
“I ONLY WISH THEY INSTALLED OURHEAT PUMP ORIGINALLY”
Great company to deal with. We hired them to move an existing heat pump after the original installer refused to help us. The estimator and the installer were both very polite, careful and thorough. I only wish they installed our heat pump originally.
I would hire them again without hesitation.
"When they left the house there was no mess to clean up!"
The young chaps, Marlon Marcuflo and Sylvia Richard, were wonderful to deal with. They were extremely polite, very tidy and efficient in their work, were right on schedule and did an excellent job. When they left the house there was no mess to clean up. I would recommend Greenfoot Energy Solutions to anyone thinking of upgrading their home.
I would hire them again without hesitation.
“THEIR ENTIRE TEAM IS EXTREMELYEXPERIENCED, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND CONSIDERATE”
We hired Greenfoot to install 2 heat pumps. From the beginning to end - initial home visit to the final installation touches - they were wonderful to work with. Their entire team is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and considerate; and were very accommodating. We consulted with many other companies before deciding to go with Greenfoot and feel that we made the best possible decision.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Pumps & A/C in Saint John, NB
Can't find an answer? Reach out to us anytime
Saint John has many rowhouses and multi-unit buildings. A typical Saint John rowhouse (1,000-1,200 sq ft) usually needs a 1.5-2 ton mini-split system. For multi-zone heating, we often install 2-3 indoor units connected to one outdoor unit for efficient whole-home comfort.
Mini-splits are very popular in Saint John due to our older housing stock and multi-family homes. Many historic Saint John homes lack ductwork, making ductless mini-splits the perfect retrofit solution. They're also ideal for heating individual apartments or separate floors.
Yes! While Saint John summers are mild by Canadian standards, we do get warm, humid spells in July and August. Heat pumps provide comfortable cooling without the expense of running a separate AC unit, and they're much more efficient than window units.
Saint John homeowners typically recoup their investment in 5-7 years through energy savings, especially when replacing oil or electric baseboard heating. With available rebates reducing upfront costs by $5,000-$7,000, payback periods can be even shorter.
Quality heat pumps have corrosion-resistant coatings designed for coastal environments. We recommend annual maintenance to clean salt buildup and inspect components, especially for homes near the Bay of Fundy. With proper care, heat pumps last 15-20 years even in Saint John's salty air.
Absolutely! Heat pumps are designed to operate in wind, snow, and freezing rain. Proper installation with elevated mounting protects against snowdrifts, and our systems have robust defrost cycles for ice storms. Saint John's relatively moderate winter temperatures are actually easier on heat pumps than inland locations.
Significantly better! Many Saint John homes use expensive electric baseboard heating. Heat pumps provide 2-3 times more heating per dollar spent on electricity, plus they add air conditioning - something most baseboard-heated homes lack. Savings of $1,500+ annually are common.
Yes! Saint John's maritime climate with milder winters (compared to inland NB) and high humidity is actually ideal for heat pumps. Our coastal temperatures rarely drop below -20°C, which is well within modern heat pump operating ranges. Plus, heat pumps handle Saint John's salt air when properly maintained.
Saint John residents qualify for NB Power's energy efficiency programs and potentially additional municipal incentives. Check with our team for the latest Saint John-specific programs. (Programs and amounts subject to change; please verify current availability.)
Heat pumps actually excel in humid conditions! They naturally dehumidify while cooling, which is perfect for Saint John's foggy summers. For heating, modern defrost cycles prevent ice buildup during our damp winters. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance in our coastal environment.
