• Cold climate air source heat pumps are designed to handle the winter weather conditions that Rhode Island experiences. Many cold climate heat pumps are rated to continuously operate down to -15℉ or more and can maintain their heating capabilities 100% to 5℉. These cold climate systems can be used as your primary heating system and can completely displace fossil fuels. It is important to ensure that your home is fully weatherized when planning to completely displace your fossil fuel heating system. We encourage homeowners to sign up for a home energy assessment to learn more about insulation and air sealing opportunities in your home.
  • Ground source (geothermal) heat pumps are not affected by the outdoor weather as they gather heat from the ground.
