What's the 411 about Heat Pumps?
Heating and cooling homes is one of the largest sources of GHG emissions in our town. Electrifying residential heating systems with heat pumps, coupled with an energy efficient envelope, makes a huge difference in a family's carbon footprint. One of the most important things that can be done to fight climate change is to stop using fossil fuels for heating our homes, and switching to energy saving split air heat pumps for both air conditioning and heating. Some may have the opportunity to add solar panels to their roofs.

Upgrading systems can be costly, but that cost and potential financing, is offset by the energy savings. Projects often pay for themselves within a 5-year time frame
