This year, the program will run from May 17 – August 30, 2023, with informational sessions (both virtual and in person) scheduled during this time. There is no cost to becoming a member, please sign up today to get all emails!
RESIDENTIAL: We talk about heat pumps a lot. But despite all of that hot air, there’s a key thing about them that many people still don’t know they’re actually air conditioners. And as hot weather season approaches and people consider buying an AC, it’s essential to know that a heat pump is also the best way to COOL your home. Even if you live in a hot place. Especially if you live in a cold place. A heat pump is a 2-in-1 machine that is more efficient than an AC, makes life more comfortable, and saves you money. Plus, you have IRA $ to put towards it. NOT getting a heat pump to cool your house this summer is like paying for a combo meal but only taking the burger—the cost is about the same, so why wouldn’t you get the fries and soda with that? Hold the ketchup, read more about this now.
