Advisory packages for HVAC companies in every province and territory

We advise HVAC companies across all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in person or by video call, phone, text and email. The packages stay the same; what changes is the fuel mix, the season, the programs and the rules each package has to plan around.

Written by Ali Sedighi, MBALast updated:

HVACConsultants.ca works with HVAC, heating and cooling companies in every province and territory. The four packages, a Business Diagnostic, a 90-Day Growth Plan, an Advisory Retainer and Marketing and Vendor Oversight, are the same everywhere. What changes from region to region is the ground they are planned on: which fuel heats most homes, how long the heating season runs, which programs are open, and which language and licensing rules apply.

Why region changes the advice

Heating fuel is the biggest difference. In 2023, according to Statistics Canada, natural gas was the primary heating energy for about three in four households in Alberta and Saskatchewan, while electricity was the primary source for 70% of Quebec households. Heat pumps were already the primary system in 36% of PEI homes. A company selling furnaces in Calgary and one selling heat pumps in Charlottetown are in different businesses, even if their trucks look the same.

Programs are the second difference. On 2026-10-08 Ottawa announced a national heat pump rebate worth $2 billion over eight years. It is meant to fund as many as 820,000 rebates on eligible electric cold-climate air-source units, paying households below the median income up to $10,000 and other eligible owners $2,000. It isn't open yet. Provincial programs, many tracked on the Canada Greener Homes Initiative page, vary widely. Confirm current terms with each administrator before building a plan around them.

West Coast

British Columbia splits between a mild, wet southwest coast and a colder Interior and North. Gas and electricity heat roughly equal shares of homes, and income-qualified rebates through CleanBC Better Homes shape the heat-pump market. Technical Safety BC is the regulator HVAC owners deal with most.

Prairies

Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba share long, cold winters and furnace-heavy housing stock. Alberta and Saskatchewan are dominated by natural gas; Manitoba has a larger electric share and an active Efficiency Manitoba heat-pump rebate. Packages here usually focus on shoulder-season planning and on keeping summer cooling and maintenance work profitable.

Central Canada

Ontario is the largest HVAC market in the country, gas-heated and furnace-heavy, with TSSA and ESA as the key regulators and Save on Energy and Enbridge Gas running the Home Renovation Savings rebates. Quebec is electric-heated, regulated through the RBQ, and has French-language rules that shape every website and advertisement.

Atlantic Canada

New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador are the country's heat-pump heartland, with oil still important in Nova Scotia and PEI. Utility and provincial programs come and go quickly here, which makes program tracking a standing item in any plan.

The North

Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut have the longest heating seasons in Canada, small and widely spaced markets, high fuel costs and supply chains that depend on the shipping calendar. Packages for northern companies are usually about capacity, scheduling and cash rather than lead volume.

What stays the same everywhere

Whatever the province, every package follows the same rules: a written scope before work starts, Ali Sedighi leading the work, any specialist help agreed in writing, and every report, plan and scorecard owned by your company. The regional differences change the content of the advice, not the way it is delivered.

That consistency matters for companies working across a border, such as an Ottawa firm with customers in Gatineau or a Lloydminster company serving both Alberta and Saskatchewan. One package can cover both sides, with the differences in fuel, programs and rules written into a single plan rather than handled as two separate engagements. It also means that an owner who moves into a new province, or buys a company in one, can compare the two businesses on the same scorecard.

How we work across time zones

Ali works from Vancouver on Pacific time, and office hours are Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific. For an Atlantic company that means morning calls are usually best on our side and early afternoon on yours; for Newfoundland, add another half-hour. Written notes after every call mean nothing depends on catching each other live. See the contact page for how to reach us, or pricing for how packages are quoted.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work outside British Columbia?

Yes. We are headquartered in Vancouver, and packages are delivered in person or by video call, phone, shared documents, text and email, so a company in Moncton or Yellowknife gets the same structure as one in Burnaby.

Do you visit companies on site?

Yes. Consultations are available in person or online by video call. The packages themselves run on your data exports, call records and conversations with your team.

Why does the province matter for an advisory package?

Because the province shapes demand. Fuel mix, heating season length, rebate programs and language rules all change which services sell, when the phones get busy and what your marketing has to say.

Can you tell me which licences my company needs?

No. We don't give licensing or compliance advice. Each region page links the regulator so you can check directly.
