Good News on Heat Pumps

From Canary Media - The New England Heat Pump Accelerator is a collaboration between Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. The initiative is funded by the federal Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program, initially created by President Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The accelerator’s goal: Get more heat pumps into more homes through a combination of financial incentives, educational outreach, and workforce development, something we need here in BC!

New Study from Clean Energy Canada on the Benefits of Heat Pumps

From Clean Energy Canada - Clean Energy Canada published "More for Less", a new study which found that a BC-wide switch to heat pumps could provide reliable heating and cooling, added home comfort, lead to lower energy bills and less carbon pollution. BC could save collectively $675 million/yr on energy bills, or approximately $358/yr per household using fossil gas and $1,039/yr for those using electric resistance heating with stand alone AC. As well, total electricity use would fall, dropping emissions by 3.5 megatonnes, which is roughly 6% of BC’s total.
