Eight manufacturers are putting what they learned during the Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump Technology Challenge into new heat pumps, and two companies already have new models on the market. 

There’s been steady growth in the popularity of heat pumps overall, but their attractiveness varies across different market segments, according to an HVAC executive who follows the trends. 

An Edwardian-era social housing estate in Chelsea, central London, is the latest ‘complex to decarbonize’ building to get the renewable heating treatment, successfully busting myths about whether heat pumps can work for old and existing buildings.

North Carolina’s rebate programs will initially focus on single-family, owner-occupied housing, particularly in disadvantaged regions and in areas affected by hurricane damage.

“Our partnership with Copeland will help us meet the rigorous standards of the DOE’s Commercial Building Heat Pump Technology Challenge,” said Brent Stockton, director of engineering at Aaon.

For facilities requiring simultaneous heating and cooling, such as hospitals and universities, partial decarbonization can create a path forward.

Two U.S. Department of Energy grants awarded to Copeland in 2024 further fuel the company’s ability to advance the research and manufacturing of cold-climate heat-pump technologies. 

Researchers have developed a magnetocaloric heat pump that eliminates refrigerant emissions, uses less energy, and matches vapor-compression systems in weight, cost, and performance.
