Central Newfoundland
Renovations and home services in Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor
Central Newfoundland has its own kind of winter: colder and snowier inland, with less of the fog you get on the coast. Copper Fox Home Services helps homeowners in Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor get their homes ready for it, with heating and cooling, heat pump installation, roofing, electrical, plumbing, renovations and construction.
We keep it simple. One company, one point of contact and one plan, even when a project needs several trades. If you are replacing an oil furnace with a heat pump and finishing the basement at the same time, those jobs are scheduled together. Send your quote request with your community or postal code, and we will confirm coverage. Quotes are free, with no obligation.

Why Central Newfoundland homes need a different plan
Being inland changes the weather. Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor tend to see colder winter nights and warmer summer days than the coast, with steady snowfall through the season. That means heating systems work hard for months, and roofs carry real snow loads. A modern cold-climate heat pump, paired with a backup, handles that pattern well and adds cooling for summer.
Housing in the region is mostly detached homes on good-sized lots: bungalows, split-levels and two-storey houses, many with full basements and attached or detached garages. A lot of them started out on oil or electric baseboard heat. Grand Falls-Windsor, along the Exploits River, has older neighbourhoods mixed with newer builds, and Gander has grown outward over the years.
For these homes, the questions are practical. Is the panel big enough for a heat pump? Is the attic vented well enough to prevent ice dams? Are pipes safe from freezing in the garage or crawlspace? Is the basement dry enough to finish? We answer those questions as one team, and with Gander's central location, it is a natural hub for projects across the region.

Questions
Questions from Gander homeowners
Do you serve both Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor?
Yes, we work with homeowners in both communities. Include your community or postal code with your quote request, and we will confirm coverage for your address before we go further. Every quote is free, and there is no obligation to move ahead.
Will a heat pump keep up with a Central Newfoundland winter?
Cold-climate heat pumps are designed for low temperatures, and many homes here use one alongside baseboards or an existing furnace for the coldest nights. We look at your home's size, insulation and layout, then recommend a setup that makes sense for inland winters.
Can takeCHARGE help with my upgrade?
takeCHARGE has offered programs in Newfoundland and Labrador for energy efficiency upgrades, including some heat pump projects. Programs and eligibility change, so we cannot promise anything in advance. When you request a quote, ask our team what currently appears to be available.
What causes ice dams, and can you fix them?
Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the roof, and the water refreezes at the colder eaves. Fixing them usually means better attic ventilation and insulation, plus proper roof protection along the edges. We look at the roof and attic together to address the cause.
I want a new heat pump and a basement renovation. Can you do both?
Yes. That is the kind of project we plan as one job. The heating, electrical, plumbing and finishing work are coordinated so each trade comes in at the right time. You have one point of contact, so there is no need to manage several contractors yourself.
Can I get the National Heat Pump Rebate in Gander?
Yes, if you qualify. Homeowners in Gander and nearby communities like Grand Falls-Windsor can get $2,000, or up to $10,000 for households at or below the median income, for a heat pump system that can heat the whole home, installed from November 1, 2026. Applications open online in early 2027. takeCHARGE's Oil to Electric program also helps oil and propane homes, with pre-approval before installing.
