Summary: The Heat Pump Planner is now a digital interactive tool
A new interactive version of the Heat Pump Planner has launched. The new version guides customers through a three question quiz to show them the heat pump system configuration that may work best for their home. Customers can compare systems, and explore an interactive “plan” of a system they are interested in learning more about. The interactive plan showcases hot spot callouts focused on the key benefits and important considerations.
Many contractors find these heat pump plans a valuable sales tool they use to educate customers before a sales visit or at the kitchen table with their customers.
