Choose an Electric Heat Pump

Keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter with an economical, dependable electric heat pump. It’s a one-appliance system that does two jobs while saving you money.

The energy efficient heat pump captures heat from the outdoors and pumps it inside during the winter. In the summer, it pumps unwanted indoor heat and humidity outdoors.

Compare the cost of a heat pump and the smaller amount of energy it will use with the cost of buying and operating other kinds of heating and cooling systems. You’ll find that a heat pump is a smart buy.
