Heat Pump Coaches

    Volunteer Coaches are Available for Cape Ann Residents

Interested in Heat Pumps for your home?

……… need help?

Replacing an existing heating system can be a time-consuming and confusing process. Volunteer coaches can guide homeowners through this process. Our coaches are not HVAC professionals, but they have a good understanding of home heating and cooling systems, and heat pump water heaters, and should be able to answer your specific questions or find someone who can.

We encourage starting this process with a recent free Mass Save home energy audit, and well before the existing system fails. This allows time for learning about heat pumps, obtaining multiple quotes, and making an informed decision. 

To support homeowners, Heat pump consultations will generally include:

  • A discussion of the homeowner’s goals, the current situation with their home, and the existing heating system;
  • Reviewing a recent home energy audit to understand weatherization measures that improve heat pump performance;
  • Analyzing a home’s heating requirements based on past fuel usage; 
  • Assessing what heating/cooling and water-heating equipment configurations might be best suited to their needs;
  • Helping clients understand how heat pumps compare with conventional systems, and what questions to ask so that their system is installed to their satisfaction;
  • Guiding the clients through the process of engaging installers;
  • Assisting clients with comparing quotes, understanding the options being offered, and suggesting follow-up questions; 
  • Providing information about financial incentives available for installing heat pumps, weatherization, and other home decarbonization actions.
