The True Cost of Delay

Every year you stay on natural gas, costs compound — through rising fuel prices and escalating carbon taxes. Here's what that looks like over 25 years.

Cumulative Cost – Stay on Gas (25 yrs)
$11.2M
Total natural gas + carbon tax expenditure from 2025–2050, assuming 2% annual escalation.
Cumulative Cost – With Heat Pump (25 yrs)
$5.5M
Total electricity cost for heat pump operation over the same 25-year period.
Cost of Delay – Your Savings Opportunity
$5.7M
The net difference: money left on the table every year you wait to transition.

Key insight: Over 25 years, continuing with gas will cost an estimated $11.2M. With a heat pump system, total net operating cost drops by an estimated $5.7M, even after accounting for electricity use.

Your Carbon Reduction Impact

Heat pumps powered by Canada's electricity grid dramatically reduce your facility's carbon footprint — and your carbon tax exposure.

Annual CO₂ Reductions
1,036 t
Tonnes CO₂e avoided annually vs. natural gas boiler operation
Current Carbon Tax Exposure (Year 1)
$102,000
Amount you eliminate at $95/tonne CO₂ – April 2025 rate
Cumulative Emissions Avoided (25 yrs)
26,952 t
Total CO₂e avoided over the life of the equipment

Carbon tax is scheduled to rise to $300/tonne by 2030. Early transition locks in savings before the rate climbs further.
