How to increase heat-pump adoption among low- and moderate-income customers

Key takeaways

  • Heat pumps can deliver substantial energy and cost savings for low- and moderate-income (LMI) customers, but they’re expensive to install.
  • Offer financing and higher incentives for LMI customers to reduce the up-front costs of heat-pump installation.
  • Partner with community organizations and trade allies to reach LMI customers and increase heat-pump awareness and adoption.
  • Engage and offer incentives to tenants and property owners to increase heat-pump adoption for LMI renters.
  • Include incentives for weatherization improvements or electrical panel upgrades as part of your LMI heat-pump program.
