What Richmond's winter means for your heat pump
In Richmond, the average January low is 2°C, and the coldest temperature recorded from 2015-2024 was -14°C. That's milder than 78% of the 123 cities we track. Winters here are mild enough that most cold-climate heat pumps can heat your whole home. Sizing and installation quality matter more than squeezing out extra cold-weather rating.

Before you hire a heat pump installer
- Ask for a room-by-room heat loss calculation. A quote that guesses the size from square footage alone is a red flag.
- Ask for the exact model and its heating output at your area's coldest temperature, not just the brand.
- Ask who handles the rebate paperwork and whether the model is on your rebate program's eligible list.
- For BC Hydro and CleanBC rebates, the installer must be registered with the Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN) or the program. Ask before you sign.
