Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are systems that can both heat or cool your home. They are 2 to 3 times more energy efficient than traditional HVAC systems since they work by transferring heat rather than generating it. With heat pumps, you can lower your energy bills and protect yourself against price spikes that occur due to extreme weather. The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit allows you to save 30% (up to $2,000/year) when purchasing heat pumps.
Benefits
Cost
Heat pumps use electricity to heat and cool your home, so cost less than traditional heating systems that use gas.
Efficiency
Heat pumps transfer heat directly, reducing the amount of energy lost in heating up your home.
Ability to Cool
Heat pumps are able to cool your home in addition to heating it, reducing the reliance on air conditioning (A/C), which at high temperatures in the summer can make A/C expensive and oftentimes infective. Heat pumps can also work in parallel with A/C to further increase your home's cooling capacity.
