Home Energy Efficiency: How and Why?
Eco-efficiency isn’t only for large-scale projects and businesses; you can also take steps to enhance your home’s energy efficiency and enjoy the full benefits.
What is eco-efficiency?
Basically, it’s doing more with less. For us, it involves ensuring optimal home comfort while minimizing energy usage, leading to lower electricity bills. By using energy efficiently, you’re helping to reduce your carbon footprint and lessen the impact on our planet.
Are you ready to make the shift to eco-efficiency? Here’s what Klimfax can do for you!
Eco-efficiency for your home: economical, comfortable and eco-responsible
Economical
Firstly, financial savings must be considered. Despite the potentially high purchase price, Hydro-Québec and the Quebec government have established subsidy programs making access to these innovative, efficient technologies easier than ever.
What’s more, new-generation heat pumps deliver incredible performance! One example is the InvertoTMtechnology, which, thanks to its variable-intensity operation, delivers a stable, comfortable temperature and superior energy savings. Imagine: more comfort, fewer expenses – just happiness!
Comfort
Speaking of comfort, this is the second major advantage of switching to an eco-efficient heating and air-conditioning solution. It goes without saying that you’ll enjoy a more stable indoor temperature, whatever the weather outside. Some heat pumps are effective at temperatures as low as -30°C. Additionally, the air quality in your home will be improved. This is especially beneficial considering the increasing prevalence of air pollution and respiratory problems such as dust and pollen allergies.
Eco-responsible
Thirdly, and certainly not least, there are reduced CO2 emissions. New heat pumps are the perfect alternatives to older oil- or wood-fired heating systems. The utilization of renewable energy, such as hydroelectricity, and the elimination of smoke emissions, genuinely impact our environment. This may be a small change for you, but it’s a significant step against climate change.

Heat pump subsidies
As mentioned before, Hydro-Québec and the Quebec government have introduced subsidies to encourage people to make the energy-efficient switch. These initiatives are advantageous for you! You will save on the purchase and installation of your heat pump, and you will also save on your heating and cooling costs. Just imagine what you could afford with those savings!
A number of subsidy programs are currently available. Find out which one(s) (yes, some can be combined!) by consulting our dedicated section.

Act now to preserve a healthy environment for our children
When it comes to the environment, carbon footprints, and protecting our natural resources, every small effort matters. Among the numerous changes you can make, choosing eco-efficient air conditioning and heating solutions is definitely the one that provides the greatest comfort without requiring you to change your habits.
Why is eco-efficiency so important?
Because, among other things, it enables:
- Optimal use of raw materials and energy;
- Reduce your ecological footprint.
Since 1969, the Global Footprint Network, a non-governmental organization, has been calculating Earth Overshoot Day, which marks the date when humanity has consumed all the resources that the Earth can renew within a year.
Our lifestyles have changed significantly over the past 50 years: there are more cars on the road, more appliances using electricity, a greater consumption of various goods, many of which are imported, increased travel, etc.
Back in 1970, Earth Overshoot Day fell on December 29, meaning that humans were consuming the Earth’s resources nearly as quickly as they could regenerate. Fast forward to 2024, Earth Overshoot Day will occur on August 1. This means that in just 7 months, we will have used up all the resources the planet can provide to sustain our needs.
