What's involved
A full oil-to-heat-pump conversion includes:
- A new heat pump system (central ducted or mini-split, depending on your home).
- Removal of the old oil tank.
- Often a 200 amp panel upgrade — most older NL homes are on 100 amp service which can't comfortably handle a heat pump on top of existing loads.
- All electrical work and permits.
- TakeCharge rebate paperwork.
Timeline
Most conversions wrap up in 2 to 3 days on site. Behind that:
- Estimate and quote: about 2 weeks turnaround.
- TakeCharge pre-approval: separate timeline, varies.
- Permit and inspection coordination: usually doesn't slow the install down.
What it costs
Range varies based on system size, panel work needed, ductwork, and your specific home. The TakeCharge rebate (up to $22,000) takes a meaningful bite out of the homeowner cost. Free in-home estimates are how we give you a real number.
Will my electric bill actually drop?
In most cases, yes — versus oil heating. The exact savings depend on your home's insulation, system size, and usage. We don't oversell it. During the estimate we'll give you realistic numbers, not marketing math.
