“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 Sydney, NS
Can't find an answer? Reach out to us anytime
Yes! We understand Sydney's economic challenges and offer flexible financing beyond government programs. Combined with rebates and energy savings, heat pumps are accessible for Sydney families looking to reduce heating costs and improve home comfort.
Most Sydney homes are bungalows and modest two-story houses. A typical 1,200 sq ft Sydney home needs a 2-2.5 ton system. Proper sizing depends on insulation, windows, and layout - we perform detailed assessments for optimal performance.
Yes! While Sydney summers are relatively mild, we do get warm spells. Heat pumps provide comfortable cooling without the expense of separate AC systems. This dual functionality is especially valuable for year-round comfort in the CBRM.
Heat pumps are built for harsh conditions. Sydney's winter winds and occasional blizzards are no problem for properly installed systems. We ensure outdoor units are positioned to minimize wind exposure while maintaining proper airflow and drainage.
Modern heat pumps work well in Sydney's older housing stock. Many historic Sydney homes lack insulation, so we often recommend pairing heat pump installation with basic insulation upgrades. This combination maximizes comfort and savings in older Cape Breton properties.
Yes! Even with lower home values in Sydney, heat pumps provide excellent returns through energy savings. Reducing heating costs by $1,500-$2,500 annually makes a significant difference for Sydney families. Available rebates also reduce the investment required.
Heat pumps are designed for coastal environments. Sydney's ocean air and moderate temperatures are actually ideal for heat pump efficiency. Quality systems have corrosion-resistant coatings, and with annual maintenance, they thrive in Cape Breton's maritime climate for 15-20 years.
Definitely! Sydney has historically relied on coal and oil heating. Heat pumps offer a clean, efficient alternative that dramatically reduces heating costs. Many Sydney families are switching to heat pumps as part of Cape Breton's transition to cleaner energy.
Absolutely! Sydney's Cape Breton location means ocean-moderated temperatures ideal for heat pumps. Winters average around -8°C, well within modern heat pump ranges. The maritime influence creates perfect conditions for efficient year-round operation in the Sydney area.
Sydney residents access Efficiency Nova Scotia rebates. These programs significantly reduce upfront costs for heat pump installations throughout Cape Breton Regional Municipality. (Programs and amounts subject to change; please verify current availability.)
