Reasons to Promote Heat Pumps – May Newsletter

Now is the best time to promote heat pump systems

Your customers probably aren’t thinking about their HVAC system – until it acts up or stops working entirely. It’s a good thing you’re looking out for them! Customers may have heard the term “heat pumps” but don’t know what they’re all about. You can help explain how they work, their benefits and why now is an excellent time to prepare for when their equipment needs to be replaced.

~~~~~~

Be the first person your customers think of when they’re ready to upgrade to a heat pump or know someone who needs new HVAC equipment. Visit Wattsmart Homes Heat Pumps.

You have the power to make a difference – one energy-efficient HVAC installment at a time.

~~~~~

Home energy assessments

If your customers are uncertain about when or which upgrades to make, encourage them to have a free home assessment. They can select a time that works with their schedule by completing a form at https://wattsmarthomes.com/home-energy-assessment/.

Customers can expect this virtual assessment to take approximately 1-2 hours. The areas which will be covered include:

  • HVAC system evaluation – including age, hot and/or cold spots
  • Thermostat
  • Appliances – dishwasher, refrigerator and laundry
  • Lighting
  • Doors – weather stripping and air sealing
  • Insulation in walls, attic and floor
  • Foundation and crawl spaces
  • Windows
  • Water heater

The program is planning to update requirements for Idaho and Wyoming Dual Fuel Heat Pump measures on June 1, 2023. Refer to the website for these updates and new requirements.

On April 27, Rocky Mountain Power, Blue Best and Lennox gave away a dual fuel heat pump system worth approximately $15,000 to Salt Lake Home and Garden Show winner Rebecca Nielsen. Nielsen’s 2005 home in West Jordan still had its original HVAC unit, making it a perfect candidate for upgrading to a heat pump to improve efficiency. The original system was old and outdated, and the newly installed heat pump will heat and cool the home moving forward, providing better indoor air quality and comfort.

“We can’t believe our luck! Our new heat pump runs so efficiently and quietly to keep our home the perfect temperature. Many thanks to Rocky Mountain Power and Blue Best for this awesome gift!”- Rebecca Nielsen, Rocky Mountain Power customer and homeowner

 

Rocky Mountain Power, in partnership with Lennox and Blue Best

Rebecca emerged as the lucky winner at the Utah Home Show in Salt Lake City, where nearly 40,000 people were in attendance. The generous contribution from Lennox, a trusted partner of Rocky Mountain Power, added to the thrill by offering a super-efficient dual fuel heat pump system. Rebecca couldn’t contain her excitement when she received the call, and her enthusiasm only grew stronger once the installation was complete.

Blue Best Heating & Air, a reputable HVAC company based in Bountiful, Utah, provided the installation service. Rebecca considered herself fortunate to have her top-of-the-line Lennox equipment installed by this exceptional company. Making the installation even more special, Blue Best Heating & Air was recently awarded the 2023 “Best of State” for warehousing /distribution and heating & air conditioning. In addition, the company is women-owned and operated, bringing a unique perspective and more than two decades of industry experience.

The Rocky Mountain Power Wattsmart team was delighted to participate in the Salt Lake Home and Garden Show in March. It allowed them to meet customers and hear about their energy concerns. The team was proud to direct customers to available rebates through the Wattsmart Homes program. When customers had questions about what upgrades may be needed, they were encouraged to get a home energy assessment.

Customers can schedule an appointment in our home energy assessment webpage.
