What does it cost for a house my size?

Heat pump cost calculator for Greater Victoria

Turns the system you are considering and a few facts about your house into an installed-cost range, line by line: the base install, electrical work, cold-climate equipment, duct repair and removal of the old furnace, then GST. It shows the range before rebates so you can see what a quote should roughly contain, and it states every assumption it made where you skipped a question.

What you enter

System type (single or multi-zone ductless, central ducted, dual-fuel, air-to-water) and, for multi-zone, the number of indoor heads
Heated floor area and storeys (optional; positions whole-home systems within the published range)
What heats your home today, and what you know about the electrical panel
Duct condition, cold-climate equipment and whether the old furnace is removed (each has a sensible default)

How it is calculated

Each line is a published Greater Victoria range from our pricing data (installer price pages cross-checked against each other), never a single-point price
Only included lines are summed; a possible service upgrade is shown separately when the electrical need is unknown
Every figure is rounded to $100 and carries its source and verification date
The result is saved as a range in your case so the rebate estimator and quote comparison can use it

What it is not

Not a quotation: a written quote after a site visit is the real price
Adding ductwork, oil-tank removal and three-storey access are listed as unresolved, never priced
Electrical figures are BC-wide; Island-specific electrician pricing is not published
Rebates are not deducted here; use the rebate estimator next

Your house

Six questions, no contact details. Every answer you skip becomes a stated assumption in the result.
