Heat pumps are like the Swiss Army knife of HVAC equipment. Unlike traditional furnaces and boilers, which only provide heat, an air source heat pump is also an air conditioner, a dehumidifier, and an air filter. And it does all these jobs efficiently. In fact, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR® program, air source heat pumps deliver about three times more heat energy to your home than the energy they consume.

How do they do that, you might ask? Well, air source heat pumps are efficient because they transfer heat rather than create it. While furnaces produce heat by burning fossil fuels like oil or propane, air source heat pumps work much like a refrigerator by extracting the heat from the outside air in winter (yes, there is heat in cold air!) and bringing it into your home, then pulling that same heated air out of your home in summer.
So, should you consider an air source heat pump? Are they good for any type of home? Can they replace other fossil fuel systems? Yes, yes, yes, and more!
Here are five reasons to consider upgrading to an air source heat pump.
The federal government offers tax credits to cover 30% of the upfront costs of qualifying air source heat pumps, up to $2,000 a year as of 2023. But that’s just the start. PSEG Long Island provides additional generous rebates and low financing on qualifying equipment. Plus, low- or moderate-income households could save even more from the government program and from PSEG Long Island if they qualify.
If you want to learn more about the amazing technology of air source heat pumps, how much you could save, and how to locate a contractor to help you find what’s right for your home, PSEG Long Island has all the information you need.
