Phil Risher explains heat pump rebates up to $10,000 and interest-free loans, but warns energy savings aren't guaranteed. Customers report satisfaction a year in, though costs run higher than expected. The real pitch is environmental benefit, not lower bills.
Up to $10,000 back.
Interest-free loans.
Heat pumps are going to save you money. Basically, you have to put them in your house. We started buying into that a bit and we have a program around here where they offer rebate and if you put heat pumps and it's the primary source of heat in your home, you can get up to $10,000 back. You can get interest free loans by putting all this stuff in. That's what the customer wants. Let's start putting them in. It makes sense. I would say in particular over the last few years, as people started ripping out their gas systems, their oil systems, they put in the heat pumps and they start getting back to us a year later saying, hey, this thing's great. It's a little more expensive than I thought. And you're like, huh, you know, you start getting the feedback. We changed our tune a little. Tell people, don't expect to save money on your energy bill, but if you want to save the world, if you're into saving the environment and all that, then consider a heat pump. We don't want to tell you how to spend your money. We'll help you spend it, but we'll answer any questions, try to give them as much information.
