Heating in Saskatoon: what matters
Saskatoon is one of Canada's coldest large cities and is almost entirely heated by natural gas. There is no provincial rebate, but the City's HELP loan finances cold-climate air-source heat pumps that are on NRCan's eligible list and meet minimum efficiency specs (COP of at least 1.8 at -15°C).
