Heat pumps are improving

Great energy savings!

Heat pumps are getting better at delivering heat even when the temperatures dip below freezing.

This is a big step forward because heat pumps are excellent when it comes to delivering cool air, and they are much more energy efficient than many systems. As much as 30 percent in some cases!

However, until recently, they struggled to provide enough heat when temps dipped into the 30s.

No more!

Major progress

Today’s heat pumps are engineered to keep you warm even in frigid New York winters.

“Chances are, if you pick the right equipment for your home and your climate, make any recommended weather-sealing upgrades, and hire a reputable contractor with experience installing heat pumps, you should have a good outcome,” says Consumer Reports, a highly respected guide to products.

The U.S. Department of Energy is also on board:
“In recent years, air-source heat pump technology has advanced so that it now offers a legitimate space heating alternative in colder regions.”

Best of all, you may be eligible for a rebate if you install a heat pump, per nyseg.com!
