HOW TO PARTICIPATE
-
MAKE YOUR HOME AS ENERGY EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE
We recommend making your home as energy efficient as possible before installing your heat pump. Starting with building envelope upgrades, like insulation, will reduce your heating and cooling load, so your contractor will be able to properly size your heat pump system. If you’re not sure where to start, check out our Let’s get started web page.
