What are the benefits of heat pump technology?

• Energy efficiency – Heat pumps are up to three times more efficient than most fossil fuel heating systems and one of the most cost-effective heating and cooling methods on the market. Visit OER’s Heat Pump Resource Guide for more information about heat pumps. 
• Energy savings – Heat pumps are very efficient, so they can help customers save money on heating and cooling costs. Depending on the type of heat pump installed, prior heating system and climate, customers can reduce electricity used by up to 50% compared to electric baseboards.
• Comfort – Heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling, so customers stay comfortable year round. They also dehumidify the air, which can help to reduce mold and mildew growth.
• Environmental benefits – Heat pumps are a more environmentally friendly option than conventional heating and cooling systems. They produce fewer emissions, so they can help to reduce air pollution.
• Improved indoor air quality – Heat pumps can help to improve indoor air quality by removing pollutants and allergens from the air.

Increased home value. A heat pump can increase the value of a customer’s home by up to 7%.
