And in areas where natural gas supplies are limited and other sources like electricity, propane, and oil are used, the return on a heat pump investment can often be seen quickly.
The heat pump market is growing. As new applications spur on new technology, there is a lot for contractors to keep up with, especially in air-source heat pumps. Here is a sampling of some of the residential and light commercial heat pump products available to contractors. For more information, a link has been provided with each entry.
