Room Heat Pumps 2.0 - Cooling and Heating in a Small Package
2025-06-18 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online
As summers continue to get hotter, more and more people are needing air conditioning to beat the heat. Room heat pumps are low cost, easy to install products that deliver powerful cooling, and have the added advantage of providing supplemental heating when the temperatures fall. They come in window-mounted options or portable, roller style configurations which are easier to move and install. They’re a great way to increase comfort all year long and reduce your reliance on gas or expensive electric baseboard heating.
Since they are portable, they’re a wonderful solution for renters. These units are lower cost than full home heat pumps and can be installed DIY by plugging into a 120V outlet. They typically cost $500-700. They provide energy efficient heating and cooling ideal for apartments or single rooms in larger homes. Existing models have been designed to work in mild climates, but more powerful but more expensive, cold climate versions are just coming onto the market now. Join us as we dive into the world of room heat pumps with our expert panelists. We will answer the following questions and more: How do they compare to ductless and whole house heat pumps? What are the configurations available? How do you install and use them? What are the ideal use cases for room heat pumps? What are some of the practical considerations of using a room heat pump? What has research shown about their effectiveness? Are rebates and incentives available to help lower the cost? What are some of the top models available? What cold climate models are available and how do they compare? What models are on the horizon? How do I shop for a room heat pump? We’ll see you on June 18th as we dive inside the portable, climate-friendly heating and cooling solution that renters have been waiting for!
