Thinking About a Pool Heat Pump?
Victoria's mild climate makes it one of the best places in Canada to run a heat pump for pool heating — efficient from spring through fall, and increasingly through winter. A properly sized pool heat pump can extend your swim season by 3–4 months while using a fraction of the energy of a gas heater.
Heatwave specializes in pool and spa heat pump installation, sizing, and service. We'll assess your pool, your electrical capacity, and your goals — and give you a free, no-obligation estimate.
Is Your Hot Water Tank Due for Replacement?
Most tanks last 10–15 years. If yours is getting up there — or if you're dealing with inconsistent hot water, higher energy bills, or discoloured water — it may be time to look at your options.
We install gas and electric tanks, on-demand tankless systems, and heat pump water heaters (which may qualify for a CleanBC rebate). Every job starts with a free estimate so you know what you're looking at before you commit.

What Our Customers Say
Ten years ago, Heatwave retrofitted our heritage home through the installation of a new heating system and the refurbishment of the original hot water radiator system.They refurbished and added an additional 1910 radiator.Our heating bills dropped by 50%.Since then, they have provided excellent service and maintenance.We enthusiastically recommend Heatwave to our friends and neighbours.
Bren was extremely helpful in recommending a solution for our very outdated heating system. We purchased a high efficiency natural gas dual boiler/hot water on demand system from Heatwave and are super happy with the result. It's more than halfed our energy bill and I love the automated thermostat.Bren had also been excellent about fitting us in on short notice when we had a leak and when our system was not working as it should on Christmas Eve. Would highly recommend!
We have used Heatwave for a number of years to keep our fireplaces and in-floor heating system in good nick. Found them to be knowledgeable, professional and on-time. Willing to offer informed input on all the questions we have raised about alternative heating technologies. Quality of the work has been very good. Difficult to comment on pricing due to limited comparative info but it is not at odds with other professional trades we have hired. We have recommended Heatwave to friends.
