Background

New Jersey's energy workforce sits at the forefront of the burgeoning heat pump market and has an opportunity to lead; as a state where 96% of homes use some kind of air conditioning equipment and 65% use a furnace for space heating, New Jersey contractors have an opportunity to become leaders in the growing heat pump market and workforce as new cold climate heat pumps will soon outsell air conditioners.
