Description

Is your natural gas furnace reaching the end of its life and needing a replacement? Have you considered a heat pump installation but don’t know where to start? This course will walk through the process of converting your home to a heat pump, including discussions around readiness, working with contractors to receive bids, and what to expect after installation. Finally, a couple of Rochester home conversions will be shared including their cost, performance, and ongoing operating costs. Sponsored by EarthFest and Destination Medical Center.
