## Key pages
- [Home](https://hvacnews.ca/): HVACNews.ca reports the programs, regulations and market data that affect Canadian HVAC contractors, every item cited and dated, and helps contractors turn those changes into accurate pages, ads and calls.
- [Services](https://hvacnews.ca/services/): We offer four services, each built on the same idea as our newsroom: say what is true today, date it, and update it when it changes. Most contractors start with one or two, not all four.
- [Areas](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/): HVAC markets in Canada differ more by province than by city. Each page below lists the safety authority, the programs we verified as of October 2026, the main heating fuels, and how we would approach marketing for a contractor there.
- [About](https://hvacnews.ca/about/): HVACNews.ca is a Canadian newsroom covering the HVAC trade and a marketing service for HVAC contractors. Ali Sedighi, MBA, runs it from Vancouver, British Columbia, where the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group that owns it has its headquarters.
- [Results](https://hvacnews.ca/results/): These are results from real HVAC and heating companies, each named and linked so you can see the live site. We explain what each case shows, what it does not show, and which parts of the method carry over.
- [Pricing](https://hvacnews.ca/pricing/): Plans run from $2,998 to $8,998 a month, and websites from $3,500 one-time, in Canadian dollars. Canadian clients add GST/HST based on their province. Every engagement starts with a 7-day free trial audit, with no credit card and no lock-in.
- [FAQ](https://hvacnews.ca/faq/): Straight answers to the questions HVAC contractors ask about our newsroom and our marketing: where stories come from, what we charge, how long things take, who owns what, and how we report.
- [Contact](https://hvacnews.ca/contact/): Call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca. Office hours: Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific. We usually reply within one business day. The same contacts work for marketing questions, story tips and corrections.

## Services
- [HVAC websites](https://hvacnews.ca/services/hvac-websites/): A contractor website goes wrong slowly: a closed rebate here, an old SEER figure there. We build HVAC websites with a structure for dated updates, a page for every job you want, and contact options one tap away.
- [Local search](https://hvacnews.ca/services/local-search/): Most homeowners pick an HVAC contractor from the map results. We set up and maintain your Google Business Profile and the local pages that support it, so you appear where you actually work, for the jobs you want.
- [Paid search](https://hvacnews.ca/services/paid-search/): HVAC demand moves with the weather and with program news. We build Google Ads campaigns by job type and season, and change budgets and messages when a rebate launches, a program closes or the forecast turns.
- [Program pages](https://hvacnews.ca/services/program-pages/): We write and maintain plain-language pages on your website that explain each program, rebate or rule change to local homeowners, with the date checked, a link to the administrator and a clear next step to call you.

## Coverage
- [Alberta](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/alberta/): Alberta is a natural gas province with a long, cold heating season and no province-wide heating rebate we could verify. Contractors here compete on furnace and boiler replacement, with heat pumps still a small, early market.
- [British Columbia](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/british-columbia/): BC is a split heating market, with natural gas and electricity close to even, a mild coast and a cold interior. Program rules changed in July 2026, and two new federally funded streams arrived through BC Hydro and FortisBC.
- [Manitoba](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/manitoba/): Manitoba combines one of southern Canada's longest heating seasons with an unusually active heat pump program landscape, run by Efficiency Manitoba. Gas still leads, but electricity heats a third of homes.
- [New Brunswick](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/new-brunswick/): New Brunswick has the highest heat pump share of any province: 40% of home heating systems in 2023, according to the Canada Energy Regulator. The market is shifting from conversions to service, add-ons and replacements.
- [Newfoundland and Labrador](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/newfoundland-and-labrador/): Newfoundland and Labrador heats mostly with electricity, and its utility-run takeCHARGE program pays installers directly for oil-to-electric conversions. A federal affordability agreement announced October 16, 2026 adds no-cost upgrades.
- [Nova Scotia](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/nova-scotia/): Nova Scotia has converted more oil-heated homes than any other Atlantic province, yet oil still heats more than a quarter of households. Efficiency Nova Scotia's rebates and a June 2026 federal agreement shape demand.
- [Ontario](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/ontario/): Ontario is Canada's biggest HVAC market by volume, still mostly gas-heated, and led the country in federally supported heat pumps. TSSA governs fuels work, and Save on Energy and Enbridge run the main rebates.
- [Prince Edward Island](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/prince-edward-island/): PEI is small but heat-pump-heavy: heat pumps were the primary heating system in 36% of households in 2023. Several efficiencyPEI heat pump programs closed in 2026, which changes what customers ask contractors.
- [Quebec](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/quebec/): Quebec is Canada's most electrically heated province and its largest heat pump market by additions. RBQ licensing, CCQ certification and French-language rules shape how a contractor operates and advertises.
- [Saskatchewan](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/saskatchewan/): Saskatchewan heats mostly with natural gas through long, very cold winters. SaskEnergy's equipment replacement rebate is the incentive customers most often meet, and TSASK licenses the gas contractors who install it.
- [Territories](https://hvacnews.ca/areas/territories/): The territories have Canada's longest heating seasons, small and dispersed markets, and their own technical safety offices. Yukon launched a dual-fuel rebate in 2026, the NWT passed a new Technical Safety Act, and Nunavut has no verified territorial heating rebate.
