US States Announce Major Push To Get To 20 Million Installed Heat Pumps, A Cleaner Alternative To Gas Furnaces That Also Provide AC

• A coalition of 25 state governors announced a major push to reach 20 million deployed heat pumps by 2030, they said in New York City on Thursday. That would represent a quadrupling of the number of heat pumps installed in 2020.
• Heat pumps are energy efficient replacements for furnaces and air conditioners. They use electricity to transfer heat, as opposed to generate heat, and they can either heat a building when it is cold outside or cool a building when it is hot outside.

Compared to a gas boiler, heat pumps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% when operating on emissions-intensive electricity and as much as 80% compared when operating on cleaner electricity, according to the International Energy Agency.

Matt Johnson, 38, an HVAC technician with ReVision Energy, a New England company specializing in solar energy and electric heat pump installations, works on removing all moisture from the line set of an newly installed electric heat pump on a home in Windham, Maine on Thursday, January 19, 2023. Improved energy efficiency with heat pump technology and new tax incentives have contributed to the popularity of heat pumps in New England, as many homeowners are facing increased costs of heating their homes with oil, propane and other fossil fuels.

As the push for sustainable and energy-efficient solutions intensifies, it's crucial to support initiatives like the deployment of heat pumps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition towards cleaner energy sources.
