Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are a great solution for your home comfort system because they work to provide both heating and cooling. Heat pumps have SEER ratings like air conditioners and Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) ratings for measuring heating efficiency. Higher SEER and HSPF ratings mean greater energy savings.

Heat pumps are a very efficient alternative to electric heat. A heat pump works the same as an air conditioner in the summer, but it runs in reverse in the winter to heat your home. The system will be matched with a backup heating source, most often electric heat for those extremely cold days of winter.

Just like our air conditioners, many of our heat pumps have advanced features, such as 2-stage compressors and variable speed fan operation. These features not only improve the comfort level of your home, but can provide additional energy savings as well.

NYS Clean Heat Program

The NYS Clean Heat Statewide Heat Pump Program (“NYS Clean Heat Program”) is a collaboration between the New York electric utilities and NYSERDA. The focus is to enable building electrification via heat-pump incentives in the form of rebates.

Core to the program is the suite of incentives supporting adoption of heat pumps. Further, this is for cold-climate air source and ground-source systems, as well as their promotion and pricing by heat-pump solution providers. As such, key aspects include:

• Incentives are for both Air-Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) and Ground-Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) for both space heating and cooling
• Incentives are also for Heat-Pump Water Heaters (HPWHs) for domestic hot water (DHW)
• The program focuses on fuel-switching from gas or oil to heat-pump heating
• The heat-pump system cannot be solely cooling-focused
