Big picture:
Heating and cooling account for nearly half of your home’s energy use. Choosing the right system makes a big difference in comfort and cost.

The solution:
An air-source heat pump, or ASHP, delivers efficient heating and cooling in one system. Today’s models are built to handle Minnesota winters, along with hot summer days.

How it works

Think of it as a two-in-one system.

• In summer, it works like an air conditioner, moving heat out of your home.
• In winter, it reverses direction and pulls heat from the outdoor air to warm your home.
• When temperatures drop extremely low, or during off-peak control periods, a backup heat source maintains comfort.

Why it’s efficient:
A heat pump does not create heat. It transfers existing heat. That process uses significantly less energy than traditional heating systems.

What you save

Lower energy costs

• You ultimately consume less energy with the high efficiency
• If connected to an off-peak program, you receive a reduced energy (kWh) rate
• Rebates help offset equipment costs.

Protection from fuel volatility

• Reduce or eliminate propane and natural gas use.
• Avoid unpredictable fuel price spikes and shortages.

Long-term value

• Lower overall energy consumption
• Greater year-round comfort
• Cleaner, electric-powered heating and cooling

Bottom line:
An air-source heat pump helps you use less, save more and power your home efficiently in every season.
