Melrose Heat Pump Month Continues with Webinar on Dec 15

The City of Melrose and its partner Abode Energy Management are offering a virtual Heat Pump 101 Webinar on Thursday, December 15, at 7:30 p.m.

The webinar is open to the public and advance registration is available on the City of Melrose online calendar or via this Zoom registration link. Webinar participants will learn heat pump basics from the experts at Abode and have an opportunity to ask questions. 

Air source heat pumps, often known as ductless mini splits, keep homes comfortable year-round, providing both heating and cooling more efficiently than traditional systems. Related technologies exist for domestic water heating, including heat pumps and solar water heaters. Another option is ground source heat pumps. Over the past several years, advances in heat pump technology have made it possible to heat and cool entire homes in the New England climate.

Abode's consultation services as well as the Heat Pump Quote Review service (usually $150) is free to Melrose residents. Visit Abode.Energy/Melrose to learn about heat pumps and other clean energy solutions for homes or businesses. Get quotes from vetted participating heat pump installers, upload the quotes to get a detailed report on how they compare or schedule a free consultation with Abode’s heat pump advisors. Starting this year, Mass Save is offering incentives of up to $16,000 for qualified homeowners and in 2023 new federal incentives and tax credits will be available for those who purchase heat pumps to supplement or replace an existing heating system.
