Some Maine homeowners have not maximized savings from ductless heat pumps and are returning to their conventional heating when their ductless heat pump would be the more cost-effective choice. Yet other homeowners are “Super Users”, maximizing savings from their heat pumps. Learn more about the numbers behind ductless heat pump performance in Maine and join us for a discussion of how we can best educate customers on getting the most from their systems.
