Heat pumps are a clean and efficient way to heat and cool your home. This class is intended for homeowners who want to understand how heat pump systems can be retrofitted to their homes, and will cover all that you need to know in order to make an informed decision. Learn about what heat pumps are and how they work, how they reduce your carbon footprint, and the difference between air-source and ground source (geothermal) systems. Retrofitting and operational costs, including information on incentives and rebates will be discussed. The instructor will be able to offer guidance on steps to be taken in order to be eligible for incentives, and how to find and evaluate different contractors.
