Heat Pump User Guide
Heat pumps are a heating and cooling system that many Housing Authorities, and their residents, enjoy. Heat pumps, and particularly ductless/mini-split air-source heat pumps, are increasingly popular because of the energy savings they provide, their lower greenhouse gas emissions, and their air conditioning abilities. Mini-split heat pumps have different operating practices than other heating systems like boilers or furnaces, and to optimize their effectiveness certain steps should be taken. Efficiency Maine created a helpful user guide, which you may find at the link below and share with residents and staff.
