Advice for first time home buyer in GTA
We are looking to buy a 3 story stacked town house (~1100 sqft) that is on the older side, in Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada. The home has electric base board heating and no cooling.
Given that summers are getting more brutal every year we feel having cooling will be critical. And given that the house still uses electric base boards we think investing in heat pumps with mini splits is a good idea. That way we can make use of the government grants.
The house has four rooms that will need cooling and heating. Two bedrooms, one study, and the living/ dining/ kitchen floor which is all on one floor in an open concept layout.
Based on my initial research we were thinking of getting a 48,000 BTU (4 ton) unit with a 4 zone split.
We were looking at either Mitsubishi or Daikin. Does our plan make sense? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
