Renewable Heating

Small businesses and non-profits should consider Air Source and Ground Source Heat Pumps, which are green heating solutions that can leave some greenbacks in your pockets as well. Low-interest financing options are also available.

Heat Pumps

Air-source and ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps are increasingly being used in commercial buildings, providing heat in winter and cooling in summer, with very low operational costs.

Air source heat pumps take heat from the outside air (even when it is cold outside).

Ground-source heat pumps, also known as geothermal, remove heat from underground and are more efficient than air source heat pumps.

Heat pumps can be carbon neutral if paired with solar panels, or if you purchase green energy through your energy supplier. Read more about heat pumps here.

Make sure you weatherize your building before deciding on a new heating system. This will help you reduce your heat load, and help you determine the appropriate equipment to keep your home warm all winter long.

PSEG and other utilities offer incentives for Geothermal Heat Pumps as well as other HVAC technologies.

INTERESTED? Contact a local contractor. They will be able to give you a quote on the system and help you access the rebates.
