Accolade Heating provides heat pump installation, repair, and maintenance for Surrey-area homes. TECA Quality First certified, CleanBC registered, Red Seal workmanship. Ducted, ductless, and ground source — with full rebate support.
Surrey's maritime winters rarely drop below -5°C — well within the performance range of modern cold-climate heat pumps that operate efficiently to -25°C and beyond. A heat pump delivers 2.5–4 units of heat for every unit of electricity, making it 2–4× more efficient than electric baseboard heating and typically cheaper to run than gas in BC's climate.
A heat pump's COP (Coefficient of Performance) means it delivers multiple units of heat energy for every unit of electricity consumed. Electric baseboard heaters deliver 1:1. That efficiency difference shows directly on your energy bill every month.
A heat pump replaces both your furnace and air conditioner. Surrey summers are getting hotter — a heat pump provides efficient cooling in summer and efficient heating in winter from the same outdoor unit.
BC's CleanBC program offers rebates on qualifying cold-climate heat pumps. As a registered contractor with TECA certification, Accolade verifies eligibility before installation and submits all rebate documentation.

TECA (Thermal Environmental Comfort Association) Quality First is a specialised heat pump certification covering sizing methodology, ventilation design, and commissioning — distinct from a basic HVAC licence. It is required by CleanBC for rebate-eligible installations. Without a TECA-certified installer, your system may not qualify for the $6,500 provincial rebate.
Government-certified trade qualification — required for all gas and refrigerant work in BC.
Required for CleanBC rebate installs — covers heat pump sizing, ventilation design and commissioning.
