Frequently asked questions
Will a heat pump work in cold weather?
Standard heat pumps work efficiently down to about 25-30°F. Cold-climate heat pumps (designated CCHP) maintain capacity to -13°F or lower. Even older units typically include backup electric resistance heat for the coldest hours.
How much can I save with a heat pump?
Compared to electric resistance: 50-70% on heating costs. Compared to oil or propane: often 30-50%. Compared to natural gas: highly location-dependent — break-even or slightly more in many areas, savings in mild climates.
Do heat pumps qualify for tax credits?
Federal IRA credits cover up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps, and many states stack rebates of $1,500-$8,000. Confirm AHRI-matched system rating before signing — the credit requires it.
