What does the future hold for heat pump tech? Can these efficient, versatile HVAC machines get any better? Manufacturers and researchers alike are dedicated to improving them so they become more affordable, more convenient, more efficient, more effective, and more precise home comfort systems for homeowners. They potentially hold the key to a more sustainable future.
Continuing Grants & Rebates to Lower Initial Costs
One thing that’s certain is that heat pump grants and rebates will continue into 2024. The Canada Greener Homes Grant and HER+ Program will continue, but not for long! Giving eligible Canadians up to $7,100 in rebates and grants is just one way the government is making these versatile systems more affordable for homeowners.
Reducing Environmental Impact Even Further
With the potential to cut global carbon dioxide emissions by at least 500 million tonnes by 2030, innovating ways to further reduce environmental impact will remain a priority. From researching and adopting refrigerants with lower Global Warming Potential to integrations with energy recovery systems, heat pumps will only become more environmentally friendly.
Improving Energy Efficiency
As part of the same effort to reduce environmental impact, as well as help homeowners save even more, manufacturers are committed to improving energy efficiency. Heat pumps are already incredibly efficient, but manufacturers continue to explore ways to boost energy savings.
Enhancing Performance & Capacity
As manufacturers continue to innovate, they look for ways to improve heating and cooling capacity as well as overall performance.
Performance enhancements include:
- Quieter operation
- More customization
- Better monitoring and control
- Simplified maintenance tasks
Heat Pumps Instead of Air Conditioners
As more homeowners switch to heat pumps, whether that means replacing their existing unit completely or installing a hybrid heating system, there will be more people relying on their heat pumps to cool their homes. With increased heating and cooling capacity on the list of improvements for the coming years, there’s all the more reason to skip the AC and go with a heat pump.
Heat Pumps: The Future of Home Heating & Cooling
The future of home climate control is about efficiency and decarbonization. Manufacturers and HVAC specialists remain committed to further reducing environmental impact, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing performance for optimal home heating and cooling. The ongoing availability of grants and rebates ensures that these innovative systems are not only cutting-edge but also accessible to homeowners looking to make a positive impact on both their wallets and the planet.
