You might remember the smoky summer we had a few years ago. The orange sun and the hazy skies.

While we usually are lucky with some of the cleanest air, wildfire smoke season can change that abruptly and people aged 65 and older, alongside those with lung and heart conditions, are one of the groups at greatest risk when smoke rolls in.

Did you know that heat pumps, in addition to heating and cooling your home, also provide air filtration? A heat pump is a great climate adaptation measure to ensure your home is adapted to warmer and smokier summers.

The Support Our Seniors Society can help you apply for a heat pump - for many residents this could be a free installation or subsidized. Free application support is for all residents: families, individuals, young & old.

See the chart below to see if you are eligible for a free heat pump and read more here on how we can help you:
