Heat pumps

Heat pumps are the most energy-efficient way to heat your home. As heat pumps transfer more energy than they use, their efficiency can be up to 450% more than other heating types.

Heat pumps draw heat from outside the house, instead of generating heat like traditional electric or gas heaters. They can also air-condition your house by pumping heat outside.

Replacing an electric heater with an energy efficient ENERGY STAR heat pump can significantly reduce your monthly home heating costs.

For more information on heat pumps, see the ENERGYWISETM website.
