How NOT To Screw Up the Heat Pump Revolution

Because heat pumps boast an astounding efficiency as a low-carbon heating and cooling alternative to burning fossil fuel, they now outpace US sales of gas furnaces. Sadly, many HVAC companies are not yet up to speed with the new cold climate heat pumps, resulting in about 60% installation errors industry-wide. This is unacceptable, given the tighter tolerances involved, and it sets up homeowners for expensive failures.

Stu Cummins and Ed Kean are pro-bono consultants with the non-profit GoElectricColorado.org and will share how to catch mistakes early and how to do it right. GoElectricColorado.org offers free, expert advice to power your home's electric future.
