Study Shows How Heat Pumps Can Help the Grid and Reduce Energy Costs

Heat pumpsare the hottest topic in the HVAC world these days.

Home electrification means moving energy needs from natural gas and other fossil fuels to electricity.

Other scenarios that envision more decarbonization of the grid show the improvements saving even more.

And those savings aren’t just for the homes getting heat pumps.

The first comes from building envelope improvements – things like better windows and doors, and better insulation.

Should you consider a heat pump?

That equipment is all-electric, meaning no more natural gas or fuel oil to heat your home.

Geothermal heat pumpsare a bit more expensive than air-source heat pumps.
