Heat Pump Demonstration Study FAQ

Get started by enrolling! We'll work with you to make sure you meet all the qualifications.

Once you are qualified a pre-approved contractor will contact you to set up an energy audit for your home. The assessment will help determine if a heat pump is suitable for you home. If your home needs energy efficiency improvements for a heat pump to work properly, the EmPower and Assisted Home Performance programs can provide these to you at low or no cost.
