New Research Shows Electric Heat Pumps Highly Efficient Even in Extreme Cold
-
New research shows that electric heat pumps are highly efficient for heating homes, even in extremely cold temperatures below -20°C.
-
Heat pumps extract existing heat from the ground or air and transfer it indoors, making them more energy efficient than fossil fuel heating systems.
-
Supporters of gas heating have claimed heat pumps don't work well in the cold, but this new study debunks that idea.
-
Officials in the U.S. are pushing for building codes mandating heat pumps in new constructions to reduce emissions.
-
Heat pump sales surpassed gas furnace sales in the U.S. for the first time in 2021, showing their growing popularity.
