Heat Pump Technology
It's June and it seems an unlikely time to talk about something called a heat pump! But it's actually the perfect time to learn more. These devices can heat and dehumidify your home, and also cool it. In fact, they are the most efficient air conditioners on the market. This one-hour session is the perfect time to learn about the technology and see how it can be a financial and comfortable benefit for you. Tuesday, 6/28 at 6:30PM.
