To meet the ambitious environmental goals being proposed at all levels of government, residential air-to-water heat pumps are emerging as a transformative solution to lower carbon emissions, enhance energy efficiency, and reduce utility bills.
For more HVAC contractors to sell zoning systems, they have to understand the benefits, challenges, know how to approach customers to even be able to sell it, and then comes the install.
The bill significantly reduces the cost of a geothermal installation, spurs job creation, and hopes to inspire more contractors to tap into the geothermal market.
The duct system plays a pivotal role in customer comfort so HVAC technicians should be familiarized with air balance testing principles to get to the heart of the issues.
For contractors in humid climates, a lot of the comfort they provide is through being able to control humidity levels, which can be aided by adding a secondary dehumidification system.
A marketing expert who specializes in assisting companies that boost energy efficiency in buildings told a webinar audience that contractors should get ready to use Inflation Reduction Act consumer incentives, even if the money is not yet in place.
If an HVAC contractor possesses knowledge pertaining to IAQ solutions and how to approach the subject with a homeowner, they are in a good spot to sell the equipment.
