Somerville HeatSmart CoolSmart program opportunity

[mem_winterhill]

This energy efficiency program for this nifty space-age heating/cooling devices was extended through Feburary 15 2018. If your heating system is on the downslope, keep this program in mind. I had mine installed yesterday and I think it's amazing. And I can't wait until summer when I don't have to put in that awful window air conditioner again!

Right now there are some serious rebates around, and the 0% interest heat loan program too.

But the most amazing thing is how quiet it is. Compared to my hissy old steam radiators and clanging pipes--wow.

Also, since I have solar and a bit of extra capacity, this will take a lot of the burden off my natural gas furnace and use my spare electrons. This will save me carbon and money. 

Please join us for the final Heat Pumps 101 Workshop next Tuesday, February 6 at 9 New Washington Street, Somerville. Doors and refreshments at 6:30 pm, presentation at 7:00 pm. Limited on-site parking is available. Learn about heat pumps, check out a few of your neighbor’s installs, and have your questions answered by City-staff and installers.

Below the jump I'll illustrate my installation with photos. Feel free to ask me questions and I'll tell you what I know. But dammit, Jim, I'm a biologist not a physicist. Some of the heavy technical details you should check with the companies that are part of the program.
