Air source heat pumps have become a cornerstone of efficient, all electric homes in Massachusetts. They also have a meaningful effect on your HERS Index.
Why Heat Pumps Score Well
Modern cold climate heat pumps deliver several units of heat for every unit of electricity, making them far more efficient than electric resistance and competitive with combustion systems. That efficiency lowers modeled energy use and improves the HERS score.
Cold Climate Performance
Today’s cold climate models maintain strong output well below freezing, which matters in New England. Proper sizing and design ensure comfort through the coldest stretches.
Pairing With a Tight Envelope
Heat pumps perform best in a well sealed, well insulated home. Reducing the heating and cooling load first lets a smaller, more efficient system do the job.
Modeling the Benefit
We can model how a heat pump affects your score and incentives compared with other systems. Reach out for a tailored analysis of your project.
