Penn Heat Pump Pathways: Business Critical Skills for a Growing Heat Pump Market Training for Contractors

September 29, 2026 7:30 AM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Description


Background

Pennsylvania’s HVAC contractors are in a strong position to lead the state’s rapidly growing heat pump market. Nearly one in five Pennsylvania homes relies on delivered fuels such as heating oil, propane, or kerosene for heating, while many others use traditional central air conditioning systems. This creates a significant opportunity for HVAC businesses. As cold-climate heat pumps continue to improve and become more competitive with traditional heating and cooling equipment, demand for contractors who can properly assess, size, sell, install, and service heat pump systems will continue to grow. For contractors, this isn't simply a shift in equipment—it's a growing market for new installations, replacements, upgrades, and service work. Businesses that develop heat pump expertise now can position themselves to win more of this work and stay ahead as customer demand increases. 

Event Description

Hosted by the Energy Efficiency Alliance, in partnership with Pierce Phelps and Penn Heat Pump Pathways, we invite you to join us for “Pennsylvania Heat Pump Summit: Business Critical Skills for a Growing Heat Pump Market”, a free half-day training on heat pump systems and more.
