Clean Heat and the Benefits of Heat Pumps

The conEdison Clean Heat Financing Program is designed to help owners heat and cool their properties affordably with no out of pocket expenses.

ConEdison reports that heat pumps are the latest clean heat technology and will keep spaces comfortable year-round. In the colder months, they work by pulling heat from the air or underground and using it to heat your property. In the warmer months, they flow in reverse and use a refrigerant to cool the airspaces within the property.

Providing both heat and air conditioning, heat pumps are a cleaner, more efficient alternative to fossil-fuel-powered heating.

Heat pumps can help:

  • Maintain a consistent temperature in your commercial building
  • Make your multifamily more attractive to current and future tenants
  • Reduce your carbon footprint with a cleaner, more efficient alternative to fossil-fuel-powered heating
  • Increase asset value and net operating income by shifting capital expenditure to operations and maintenance

Commercial PACE is a great financing option for heat pumps and other energy efficiency measures.
