Think heat pumps can only work in warmer climates? Think again, experts say. The electric heating and cooling systems have historically been more common in warmer areas because earlier models didn ...

How low can you go, really? That’s one question Alaska researchers are asking of a new grant-funded heat pump prototype this ...

"Heat pumps just really aren't good in certain climates," Powers said. Meanwhile, a furnace will continue to generate heat even in cold climates. One of the greatest benefits of a heat pump is ...

The Biden administration introduced new consumer tax credits for climate-friendly heat pumps. What does a Trump ...

You can lower your energy bills by reducing your hot water usage, but you can also do it by using a much more efficient ...

Heat pumps are common features in houses in countries like Norway and Sweden but haven’t taken off yet in the UK.

A British-Swedish research team has reviewed all models for designing and simulating solar-powered heat pumps systems of ...

They're more efficient than gas and oil heat and better for the climate. But they're not cost-effective where electricity is expensive.

These temperature control systems are steadily improving, with models that passed the DOE’s Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge expected to reach homes by the end of the year. "[Heat pumps] really ...

Improving Heat Generation Among all possible demands for energy, heat is the highest end-use (including, for example, electricity transformed to heat). So it makes sense that decarbonization will only ...
