Across the United States, programs that electrify space heating homes and buildings — primarily using high-efficiency space heating heat pumps— are growing rapidly. A topic brief released today shows that current-year budgets for the 23 programs we reviewed are nearly $110 million, up 70% from the prior year.
Here is the content list:
Benefits of electrifying space heating
Electrifying water space heaters
Electrifying vehicles and commercial buildings
These programs build on a policy framework in several states (discussed in a recent post) that promotes decarbonizing electricity generation and then using this cleaner electricity to replace fossil fuels where feasible and practical.
In areas with high use of delivered fuels (fuel oil and propane), such as the Northeast, many programs target customers using these fuels, because the economics of electrification in these situations are often better than when displacing natural gas. Likewise, a few programs, such as in California, Connecticut, Illinois, and Michigan, are encouraging all-electric new construction — another market segment with favorable economics.
An increasing number of programs are looking to encourage space heating heat pumps as primary space heating heat pumps systems. In regions with the growing use of air conditioning, ductless space heating heat pumps are a popular way to add both supplemental space heating and efficient air conditioning to homes that are difficult to retrofit with central air conditioning.
While our topic brief focuses on space heating heat pumps for space heating, programs to promote space heating heat pumps are also extensive.
For example, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) measures its success based on avoided carbon; it has a program to encourage homes with gas water space heaters to install electric space heating heat pumps when an existing water space heater needs replacement. It offers $3,000 incentives for converting to space heating heat pumps; these incentives typically cover more than 90% of the costs of the new water space heater, including conversion costs. In 2019, more than 1,000 space heating heat pumps were installed. The pace picked up in 2020, with 436 units installed in the first quarter.
Likewise, the California Public Utilities Commission earlier this year approved $45 million for utility sspace heating heat pumps programs through the Self-Generation Incentive Program (which is separate from energy efficiency funding).
Programs to date emphasize the residential sector. While commercial applications are often eligible, they are usually not targeted, and where targeted, the emphasis is on smaller buildings. Analysts and programs are just starting to consider electrification opportunities in the commercial sector.
There are also large electrification opportunities in transportation, with many state and utility programs promoting electric cars, trucks, and buses, as well as the charging infrastructure and rates needed to support electric vehicle (EV) deployment.
MICOE has developed a variety of different space heating pumps. If you are in the space heating pump business, you can consider using our cost-effective products.
Many homeowners decide to install space heating heat pumps because of their high efficiency and reliability. By the way, the swimming pool heat pump is a kind of space heating heap pump as well, it heats the swimming pool though. It’s important to maintain your system in order to get the most out of your heat pump. Then, let us introduce more about the way to higher the efficiency of space heating heat pump.

How to make the space heating heat pump more efficient in the winter?
How to make the space heating heat pump more efficient at night?
Other tips on how to make the space heating heat pump more efficient.
When you adjust the thermostat during the winter months, don’t make big jumps upward or downward in the temperature setting. Sudden upward adjustments can activate the backup heater, which is inefficient. Remember that space heating heat pumps circulate air that will feel relatively cool coming out of the vent, but actually warm enough to heat the house efficiently. Unlike a gas furnace, which blasts hot air for a few minutes and then turns off, space heating heat pumps actually run longer, but are more cost-effective. The swimming pool heat pump needs to notice winter in a special way, be careful of the ice.
Further, setting the temperature back at night is not necessary for space heating heat pumps with two-stage thermostats. That is because turning the heat back up in the morning could activate the backup resistance heater, which would wipe out any energy savings from turning it down overnight. If you want to turn the temperature down at night for comfortable sleeping, slowly raise the setting a few degrees at a time in the morning and check the thermostat light to make sure backup heating has not been activated. Do not use a swimming pool heat pump all night, even since you sleep, it is not safe enough.
Make sure that your thermostat is properly paired with your space heating heat pump. Most “smart thermostats” are also designed to work with common space heating heat pump configurations. They also support several stages of heating and cooling and can run the space heating heat pump and auxiliary heat simultaneously to maximize comfort and reduce overall energy costs. Some systems are equipped with an outdoor temperature sensor, which is used by the logic to determine when supplemental heating is needed, even if the room thermostat is suddenly turned up. As a homeowner, remember to check the system air filters every month for dirt and dust, and clean or replace them as recommended. These air filters are very important to the system operating correctly, especially in homes with pets. Outdoor coils of space heating heat pump should also be cleaned with water regularly and checked to make sure that airflow around the unit is not obstructed by plants, mulch, garbage cans, or snow. Cleaning on the coils should only take place during warmer days, which may mean preparing in the fall season. If ice forms on the outside coil of a space heating heat pump during the winter season, know that this is completely normal, and no action needs to be taken. To melt the ice, the space heating heat pump has a defrost cycle, which should turn on automatically and melts the ice in less than 10 minutes. When this happens, steam might rise from the outdoor unit, which is also a normal part of the defrost cycle. Overall, maintaining good airflow both inside and outside will extend the life of your unit. The space heating heat pump should be serviced periodically, before the start of the heating season.

The all in one heat pump can efficiently produce domestic hot water while releasing cold air like an air conditioner to meet the cooling needs of the kitchen. And the all in one heat pump can also achieve dehumidification in local spaces such as balconies, storage rooms, garages, etc., to prevent items from becoming moldy.
Here is the content list:
1. What is the background of the development of all in one air source heat pumps?
2. What kind of development process has the air source heat pump gone through?
3. What are the advantages of the all-in-one heat pump?
With the development of people's economy, people's requirements for the quality of life are getting higher and higher. People's requirements for showering and bathing are also getting higher and higher. Gas water heaters, electric water heaters, and solar water heaters are far from meeting people's needs for comfort, energy-saving, and safety. In developed countries in Europe and the United States, the ratio of cold and hot water is 1:9 (9:1 in China). Coldwater in European and American countries is only used for drinking, toilet flushing, and car washing, and hot water is used in other areas. The market share of household central water heaters in European and American countries is over 90% (less than 3% in China).
(1) The first generation: high-power gas
The outlet water temperature and water pressure are greatly affected by climatic conditions, and the water temperature is unstable and difficult to adjust.
(2) The second generation: high-power electric water heater
The main reason is that the energy consumption is very high, it is easy to leak electricity and hurt people, and the water storage capacity is insufficient.
(3) The third generation: solar water heater
In theory, it is the most energy-saving, but considering the actual situation, the actual environment will often rain and cloudy and the winter in the north requires external electric assistance, which is quite a hidden danger to the safety of an electric water heater.
(4) The fourth generation: all in one heat pump
In response to the problems of previous products, people made unremitting efforts to develop an all in one air source heat pump in 2005.
(1) Kitchen refrigeration
This is the biggest advantage of the all in one heat pump. Ordinary water heaters (such as electric heating, gas water heaters, solar water heaters, etc.) can never have the function of cooling. If the kitchen needs additional cooling function, you need to buy a kitchen air conditioner. Because the kitchen has oily fume, it is a special environment, so the kitchen air conditioner is different from the ordinary air conditioner, and the price is much more expensive (generally the price is more than 4000 yuan).
(2) Green
Gas water heaters heat hot water by burning combustible gas, which will emit a large amount of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other harmful exhaust gas. The all in one heat pump just transfers the heat from the surrounding air to the water, completely achieving zero emissions, and has almost no impact on the environment. Therefore, the all in one heat pump is a real environmentally friendly water heater.
(3) Low-carbon fashion
Today, energy conservation and emission reduction have become the trend of the times, saving energy and reducing carbon emissions is the most fashionable way of life. As mentioned earlier, the all in one heat pump adopts the reversed Carnot principle, which transfers the energy in the air to the water instead of directly heating with electric heating elements. Therefore, the energy efficiency of the all in one heat pump can reach 4 times that of the electric water heater, that is, heating. The same amount of hot water consumes a quarter of the electricity of an electric water heater, which greatly saves electricity consumption.
The above is all about the all in one heat pump. If you want to obtain multiple effects with one air source heat pump, you may wish to install an all in one heat pump at home. You can consider using MICOE 's cost-effective products.
