Space heating is the largest use of energy in homes. A properly installed heat pump is two to three times more efficient than other alternatives and can provide you with both heating and cooling for today’s cold winters and hot summers.
Air-to-water heat pumps use hydronic distribution systems to heat and cool the home with a series of radiators or in-floor heating. Based on your household income, you could receive up to $19,500 for an air-to-water system. For more information, see What is a heat pump and what are its benefits?
