Heat.Support looks after heating company websites in all 10 provinces and 3 territories. The technical work, hosting, updates, backups and security, is the same everywhere. What differs from region to region is the content a site has to keep accurate: the rebate programs it mentions, the language rules it must follow, the fuel its customers burn, and the weeks when traffic peaks.
Each region page below explains those differences for website care specifically. Pick your province, or read the group summaries first.

West Coast: British Columbia
British Columbia combines mild, wet winters on the southwest coast with much colder seasons in the Interior and the North. A single BC heating company can see its site busy in Prince George weeks before Vancouver traffic picks up.
BC is also a province where rebate content goes stale quickly. The CleanBC Better Homes Energy Savings Program introduced new requirements for invoices dated on or after July 6, 2026, so any heat-pump page written before then deserves a review. The British Columbia page has the detail.
Prairies: Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba
The Prairie provinces share long, cold winters and heavy reliance on natural gas. Statistics Canada data for 2023 shows gas as the primary heating energy for about three households in four in both Alberta and Saskatchewan, and about half in Manitoba.
For website care that means two things. Sites must hold up during sudden cold snaps, and furnace and boiler content dominates. Rebate content differs sharply: Saskatchewan has a SaskEnergy rebate for high-efficiency gas equipment, Manitoba has heat-pump rebates through Efficiency Manitoba, and Alberta had no province-wide home heating rebate on official sources as of October 2026. See the Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba pages.
Central Canada: Ontario and Quebec
Ontario and Quebec hold the largest heating markets in the country, and they could hardly be more different for a website.
- Ontario is gas-heavy, with large, competitive metro markets and active provincial rebate programs. Sites often carry long lists of program details that must be kept current. See the Ontario page.
- Quebec heats mostly with electricity, and French-language rules apply to commercial websites. The OQLF explains the requirements for businesses. A Quebec heating company's site care must include French content, not as an afterthought. See the Quebec page.
Atlantic Canada
The four Atlantic provinces have maritime winters, a long heating season and a much larger share of oil heat and heat pumps than the rest of the country. Several oil-to-heat-pump programs here closed during 2026, which left many heating company websites describing money customers can no longer apply for.
- New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province.
- Nova Scotia still offers heat-pump rebates for new heat pumps through Efficiency Nova Scotia.
- Prince Edward Island closed its residential heat-pump equipment rebates in April 2026.
- Newfoundland and Labrador has an active oil-to-electric incentive through takeCHARGE.
The North: Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut
The territories have the longest heating seasons in Canada and small, spread-out markets where a company's website is often the main way people check who serves their community. In Nunavut, the Inuit Language Protection Act sets requirements for Inuktut in commercial advertising, as summarised by the Languages Commissioner. The territories page covers all three.
What stays the same everywhere
Some parts of care do not change with the map. Every site, from Victoria to Iqaluit, needs its domain held in the company's name, software updated with a backup taken first, logins reviewed, contact links tested and a quiet period around peak season. The website care checklist covers that shared routine.
How we work across time zones
We are based in Vancouver, and our hours are Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific. Scheduled maintenance is planned for quiet hours in your time zone, not ours, so a Halifax site is not being updated at the start of a Halifax business day.
For emergencies such as a site that is down, call or text. For routine edits, an email with the page address and the change is the quickest route. The contact page explains what to include, and pricing is the same in every province, plus that province's GST/HST (GST and QST in Quebec).
Frequently asked questions
Do you need to be local to look after my website?
No. Hosting, updates, security and edits are all done online, and we can meet by video call or in person. What a local partner brings, knowing your region's rebates, language rules and seasons, we cover through the regional notes on these pages and through talking with you.
Do you handle French-language websites?
Yes, we maintain bilingual sites. For Quebec in particular, French-language rules affect what your site must offer, so French content is planned into the care scope from the start.
Which time zone do you work in?
We are based in Vancouver and work Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific. For clients in Atlantic Canada, that means the afternoon is the easiest time to reach us live; texts and emails can be sent at any hour.
