The Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge was launched in 2021 as a partnership between Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and the U.S. Environmental ...

Modern heat pumps, including those designed specifically for cold climates, often don’t switch to backup heat until the temperature is much lower, typically around 5 degrees, he said.

The adoption of cold climate heat pumps, which work with greater efficiency at temperatures below freezing, along with building energy efficiency, can help mitigate the cold-temperature risk.

The Midea Packaged Window Heat Pump, a saddle-shaped, window-mounted, cold-climate packaged heat pump designed specifically for multifamily applications, won a 2024 AHR Innovation Award in the ...

Yes, they can—if carefully chosen and properly installed. Here's what you need to know.By Liam McCabeHeat pumps are emerging as an important tool for helping to thwart climate change—not just ...

Lis, at NEEP, told us that by his account, the first wave of cold-climate heat pump adoption in the Northeast was in northern New England, following a spike in the price of heating fuel in the ...

The U.S. heating specialist said its new heat pump system can operate "reliably" at -30 C and achieve 100% heating capacity at -17 C, with full cooling capacity being achievable at 50 C.

The first heat pumps to pass the U.S. Department of Energy's Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge might be in customers' homes by the end of the year. The DOE's challenge to industry was to build ...

For example, Bosch has announced plans for a new €225mn factory in Poland, to open at the end of 2027, part of a total €1bn investment in European heat pump production capacity this decade.

This allows you to run the more-efficient heat pump a majority of the time, but keep the gas furnace as a backup for especially cold days (although cold-climate heat pumps are suitable for almost ...
