Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling with an Electric Heat Pump

Need a New Furnace or Air Conditioner?
Switch to a Cold Climate Air-Source Heat Pump

A cold climate air source heat pump (ASHP) is a system that both heats and cools your home. It works by transferring heat from the outside air into your home during the winter and extracting heat from your home and releasing it outside during the summer. Yes, it can extract heat from the outside even when it's below zero!

Cold climate ASHPs can be a more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems, as they use less electricity to heat your home than a traditional electric heating system. Combining with rooftop solar is an even bigger win for reducing the carbon footprint of your home.

Even if you live in an apartment building, a heat pump is an option for you.

“I'm so happy with decision to replace my furnace and A/C, I'm going to get myself a button that says 'ask me about my heat pump.' I didn't want a little fossil fuel plant in my house.”

The Most Energy Efficient Way to Heat and Cool Your Building

Geothermal heat pumps, also known as ground-source heat pumps, provide an efficient and sustainable way to heat and cool your home or business. By using the constant temperature of the earth as a source of thermal energy, these systems can save you money on your energy bills while also reducing your carbon footprint.

One of the key benefits of geothermal heat pumps is their high efficiency. Because they use the earth as a heat source, they require less energy to produce the same amount of heat as traditional systems. This means that they can reduce your energy costs by up to 70% compared to traditional heating and cooling systems!
