Our Goal

By 2030 air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are the first choice for contractors and homeowners replacing electric and delivered-fuel heating systems or air conditioners, and every installed system will be optimized to provide heating as well as cooling.

ASHP Benefits

ASHPs have potential to improve heating and cooling efficiency as well as lower energy costs. Over the recent years, variable-speed, inverter-driven heat pumps have emerged as a high-efficiency option for heating and cooling homes in cold climates.
