|---|---|---|
| Electrical panel / service upgrade | $2,000–$6,000 | Estimate - depends on service size and utility work |

What drives the price
- System type and size. A whole-home system costs more than a single room, and multi-zone systems add a head and line set per zone.
- Your electrical service. Older 100-amp panels often can't take a heat pump plus electric backup heat without an upgrade or load management.
- Line-set length and routing. Long runs, finished walls and covered exterior channels take more time and material.
- Outdoor unit location. Ground pads are simplest; wall brackets and balcony stands add cost. Setback rules - 90 cm from the property line in Vancouver, 1.2 m in Richmond - sometimes push the unit further from the indoor equipment.
- Removing gas equipment. Capping a furnace needs a licensed gas fitter and a permit.
- Ductwork changes. Heat pumps move more air than furnaces, so small returns may need enlarging.
