Free Resources to Aid Air Source Heat Pump Contractors and Installers

Contractors who design and install air source heat pumps (ASHP) can benefit from these innovative resources provided by Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE). These guides and matrices are intended to help HVAC contractors and installers optimize design, determine when and how to configure and install two-control systems, prioritize weatherization improvements, and present key strategies to evaluate duct systems. Contractors can also share a few of these resources with homeowners to facilitate their understanding of the energy and non-energy benefits of heat pumps, why weatherization is important, and how to maintain, operate, and troubleshoot their systems. Visit the links below to view, download, and share the collateral with your organization and clients.

• Air Source Heat Pump Decision Matrix and System Design Guide
• Controls for a Heat Pump with Secondary Heating (for contractors)
