Air-source heat pumps offer high efficiency heating and cooling for homes and businesses. When replacing legacy fossil-fuel heating systems such as oil and propane furnaces or boilers, cold climate heat pumps offer utilities significant increases in winter revenues. When replacing air conditioners they can significantly reduce summer peak loads. In both seasons they can save consumers money and reduce carbon emissions. A true win-win-win for our utilities, pocketbooks and the environment.
Challenges with traditional heat pump programs
- Customers need education and are not ready to buy
- Contractors want to sell, not educate
- Contractors incentivized to sell conventional AC or heating systems
