New Year, New Savings

From the Mitsubishi Electric Blog:

A new year always comes with new resolutions and goals, most often geared toward establishing a healthier body and lifestyle. But what about a healthier budget and environment? The new you for the new year can make smart decisions to save money while also reducing your carbon footprint.

Where Does HVAC Come In?
A heat pump can heat your home without burning fossil fuels and can be up to four times more efficient than a conventional option, according to the Rocky Mountain Institute. Installing a high-efficiency heat-pump system, such as our Zoned Comfort Solutions®, can help homeowners significantly reduce their year-round energy consumption, meaning lower utility bills and more sustainable comfort.

Many local utility companies offer rebates and tax credits to homeowners who install new, high-efficiency systems. These incentives help offset initial costs and contribute to the return on investment homeowners realize with the heat pump system’s energy-efficient operation. Lower utility bills and reduced maintenance requirements lead to long-term savings.

These incentives don’t only apply to heating season, however. Heat pumps also efficiently cool homes in the warmer months, allowing homeowners to enjoy energy savings year-round.

Homeowners currently using or considering installing a Mitsubishi Electric system can find out what local rebates are available to them using our rebate finder tool.

Maine Decides to Go Big on Heat Pumps

Check out this news article from Green Tech Media by Justin Gerdes. According to the article a little more than half of the electricity generated in Maine already comes from zero-carbon hydropower and wind power and legislation signed 6/26/19 sets a 100 percent renewable electricity target for 2050.

“Heat pumps reduce Maine’s dependency on fossil fuels, stabilize energy costs, and support energy efficiency jobs which will attract young families and skilled workers to our state,” Gov. Mills said in a statement.
