About the Program
Your heating and cooling system is likely the largest user of energy in your home. Installing a high-efficiency heat pump can save up to 50% on your home heating bills as they deliver energy more efficiently than other sources. Having your contractor complete a performance verification test will ensure your heat pump is performing at or near its capacity.
