Embrace Clean Comfort: Heat Pumps & Rebates for BELD Customers

As we strive for a more sustainable future, heat pumps have emerged as a game-changer in home heating and cooling. These energy-efficient systems not only reduce your carbon footprint but also offer significant savings on utility bills. BELD, in partnership with Abode Energy Management, is here to guide you through the transition to this innovative technology.

Why Choose Heat Pumps?

Heat pumps are a game-changer for home comfort:

  • Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps can deliver up to three times more heating energy than the electrical energy they consume.
  • Cost Savings: Reduced energy consumption translates to lower utility bills.
  • Environmental Impact: By utilizing electricity, especially from renewable sources, heat pumps emit fewer greenhouse gases compared to traditional systems.
  • Year-Round Comfort: Enjoy consistent indoor temperatures throughout the seasons.

BELD’s Clean Comfort program offers comprehensive support for customers considering heat pump installations:

  • Expert Guidance: Connect with a Heat Pump Specialist to discuss your home’s needs.

  2. Contractor Selection: Choose a participating contractor to assess your home’s suitability.
  3. Pre-Approval (Optional): For whole-home projects, your contractor can submit a pre-approval application to confirm rebate eligibility.
  4. Installation: Proceed with the installation of your new heat pump system.
  5. Post-Install Review: Your contractor submits documentation for quality assurance and rebate processing.
  6. Enjoy the Benefits: Experience enhanced comfort and energy savings.
