Heat pumps could be the answer to offsetting the considerably high carbon footprint of heating people’s homes during the cold season.

Also, they run on electricity, leaving a way smaller carbon footprint than the burning of natural gas, oil or propane in people’s homes and businesses for heating and hot water.
