Air-water heat pumps and gas absorption heat pumps were evaluated to determine feasibility compared to more conventional and established air source heat pump technology when installed a single family resident in Wisconsin. These findings are captured in a memo: Air to Water Heat Pump (AWHPs) and Gas-absorption Heat Pump (GHPs) Memo Findings [PDF]

Utilizing insights gained, this project produced a customer-facing playbook on heat pump technologies which customers and contractors may use as a best practice guide when purchasing and installing equipment. See below for the Electric Heat Pump Customer Buying Guide.
