Heat pumps are gaining popularity in both the Northeast and Northwest, even into Canada, as well as traditional markets where their acceptance is secure.

“We’re seeing wider recognition among homeowners and HVAC contractors of how modern heat pumps can condition homes of all different sizes and in a variety of climates — including colder climates in the Northeast and Midwest,” said Michelle Robb, director of marketing, Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US. “It’s an exciting time in our industry, and we expect continued market expansion for both split-ductless and ducted variable-capacity heat pumps.”
