As more Canadians seek efficient and sustainable alternatives to traditional heating, Midea offers systems that support electrification, reduce energy costs, and leverage national and regional incentives aimed at promoting energy efficiency. Midea's technologically advanced heat pump offerings already account for a significant share of the heat pump market in Canadian homes. Midea is bringing its extensive product lineup directly to Canadian contractors, tradespeople, and homeowners, introducing them to high-efficiency Midea-branded systems designed to provide year-round comfort and energy savings.

Revolutionary Cold Climate Technology Tailored for Canada
Midea's lineup is anchored by the EVOX G3 Heat Pump and air handler unit (AHU), a top-performing system featuring Midea's proprietary Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) technology. The heat pump achieves up to 100% heating output at -15°F (-26°C) and operates down to -22°F (-30°C), ensuring reliable warmth even in harsh Canadian winters. Designed with flexibility in mind, the EVOX G3 is compatible with existing air handler units, allowing homeowners to upgrade their systems easily without needing a full replacement. For homes with add-on renovations or rooms that the ductwork doesn't reach, EVOX G3 offers customizable multi-zone configurations, including compatibility with Midea's mini-split systems. With a side-discharge heat pump and an AHU featuring a modular design, the EVOX G3 system is energy efficient and is engineered for ease of installation in tight spaces.
Midea's range of cold climate heat pumps are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing HVAC systems, making upgrades straightforward and cost-effective for homeowners. By providing compatibility with both ducted and ductless systems, these solutions reduce the need for extensive renovations, helping homeowners achieve energy savings without major structural changes.
Expansion of Heat Pump Technology into Different Categories
In addition to the EVOX G3 system, Midea's commitment to versatility and efficiency spans a range of products that meet different household needs. For instance, the Midea Packaged Window Heat Pump offers a compact solution for specific installations, while the Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) brings unparalleled energy efficiency to residential water heating. Utilizing advanced air-source heat transfer, the HPWH is up to four times more efficient than traditional electric water heaters, offering homeowners considerable energy savings and meeting the stringent standards of Canada's Greener Homes Grant program.
"Our products, including EVOX G3 and the HPWH, are developed to meet the highest performance and efficiency standards, ensuring reliable heating and cost savings for homeowners in the most challenging conditions," said David Rames, Senior Product Manager at the Midea America Research & Development Center. "The Mississauga showroom opening – and plans to open more in Canada – demonstrate Midea's commitment to making our innovative and sustainable heat pump solutions accessible to Canadian homeowners."
