Do heat pumps need their own electrical circuit?

Yes. Like AC units, heat pumps require a dedicated circuit sized to their voltage and amperage. We handle full installation from panel to unit.

What’s the difference between AC and heat pump wiring?

Not much—the wiring is similar, but heat pumps may have dual-mode controls and require additional disconnects or relays, which we install.

Do you coordinate with HVAC contractors?

Absolutely. We work directly with your HVAC installer to ensure our wiring supports the unit’s requirements and layout.

Will this overload my current panel?

We evaluate your panel first. If it’s under capacity, we proceed. If not, we’ll recommend an upgrade before connecting the new load safely.

How long does installation take?

Most hookups take 1–2 hours. Larger systems or panel upgrades will require additional time—we’ll provide a clear estimate before starting.

Air Conditioning Heat Pumps

Heat pumps and air conditioning systems rely on precise electrical connections to deliver the comfort you expect. Undersized wiring, poor breakers, or sloppy installs can shorten equipment life—or shut it down when you need it most. At Unity and Light Electric Inc, we provide licensed, code-compliant electrical hookups for new installations, replacements, or system upgrades. We assess panel capacity, select the right wire gauge, and install weather-rated disconnects and shutoffs where needed. Whether you’re cooling a family home or heating a multi-zone rural property, we ensure every connection is safe, efficient, and ready to perform.

A great HVAC system is only as reliable as the power behind it. Our team ensures that your new heat pump or AC unit is supported by properly sized circuits, isolated disconnects, and clean, professionally routed wiring. We install GFCI protection where required and coordinate with HVAC contractors to ensure full compatibility. At Unity and Light Electric Inc, we don’t just make it run—we make it safe to run for the long haul. Whether you’re building new or retrofitting an older system, we bring the electrical integrity your climate system needs to thrive.

Not all heat pumps are created equal—and not all properties are wired to support them. That’s why we start every job with a load assessment and panel review. For small residential systems, we create clean, efficient runs that stay hidden and organized. For rural and commercial applications, we plan for higher loads, weather exposure, and voltage fluctuations. Our team is experienced in working with ductless mini-splits, hybrid systems, and traditional AC units. We route your power with care, label shutoffs clearly, and build for performance, longevity, and code compliance every step of the way.

Modern air conditioning and heat pump systems are a smart investment—but only if the wiring behind them is done right. Unity and Light Electric Inc brings over a decade of licensed experience to every hookup, ensuring that your system is ready to perform safely, efficiently, and on demand. We proudly serve residential, agricultural, and light commercial clients throughout Lumby and the North Okanagan. From new installs to electrical upgrades for larger HVAC systems, we’re the trusted local team to call when it’s time to power your comfort with confidence.
