The New England Heat Pump Accelerator aims to 'permanently shift the market from fossil fuel equipment to heat pumps'
Installing heat pumps, which use electricity to heat and cool air, is a key part of Massachusetts' plan to get homes off of fossil fuels. Monday to “supercharge” efforts to get residents to ditch natural gas or oil heating systems and install electric heat pumps.
Buildings in Massachusetts account for about 35% of the state’s annual emissions, making them the second-biggest source of greenhouse gas pollution after the transportation sector. The state's climate plan calls for electrifying 26% of households by 2025 and 38% by 2030, which requires installing 100,000 heat pumps by 2025 and 500,000 by 2030.
Enter the New England Heat Pump Accelerator. With the influx of federal funding, the program aims to solve many of the issues on the supply side. In addition to training and recruiting new HVAC contractors, the states hope to spur the local heat pump market by offering so-called “midstream incentives” to wholesale distributors.
