Air Source Heat Pump
A heat pump doesn’t sound like a likely candidate to cool a home. But with an air source heat pump (ASHP), you get air conditioning, plus a cost-effective supplemental heat source for the spring and fall. When combined with an Energy Wise program, an ASHP can easily deliver $2-$3 worth of cooling or heating for every dollar spent to operate. Enjoy cooling and heating with this economical product. Rebate is filled out by your QI-certified HVAC contractor.

Mini Split Heat Pump
This ductless alternative to an air conditioner is installed near the ceiling of your room. Qualifies as a central system, and there are rebates for Energy Star models.
Ground Source Heat Pump
A ground source heat pump (GSHP) relies on the relative warmth of the earth for its cooling and heating production. This lets you take advantage of consistent temperatures below the ground, all year-round. A GSHP functions just like other types of heat pumps, using a refrigeration cycle to move heat between the indoors and outdoors. These units can be up to 300% efficient.
