Heat Pumps

While air-source heat pumps can provide many benefits to consumers as an alternative to traditional HVAC systems, notably lower energy bills and fewer carbon emissions, consumer research suggests that familiarity with this technology may lag behind some other electric alternatives.

This fact sheet in the Questions to Ask to Become a Smarter Energy Consumer series provides consumers with basic information about heat pumps, such as how they work and the benefits that they offer, and helps prepare them to discuss heat pumps – including incentives and trade allies for installation – with their electricity providers.

We encourage you to share this resource with your customers to help them gain a greater understanding of how they might benefit from air-source heat pumps. This fact sheet can also be found on our consumer-facing website, and social media resources are available for members on request.
