What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a device used for heating and cooling purposes by transferring heat from one location to another. It operates on the principle of moving heat rather than generating it directly.
In heating mode, a heat pump extracts heat from the outside air, ground, or water source (depending on the type of heat pump) and transfers it indoors to warm the building. In cooling mode, it works in reverse, removing heat from indoors and transferring it outside.
Right now, TCLP Customers can get up to a $3,000 Rebate on new Heat Pumps. Not only will you have money on your utility bills, but you will also get a $3,000 rebate directly from Traverse City Light and Power.
PLUS..a possiblity for a $2,000 tax credit! That could bring your total savings to $5,000!
