"Breakthrough Cold-Resistant Heat Pumps Unveiled by Top Manufacturers"

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced that four additional heat pump manufacturers have successfully developed prototypes as part of the Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump (CCHP) Technology Challenge, aiming to accelerate the deployment of heat pump technologies by supporting innovation and manufacturing. These prototypes are designed to deliver 100% heating capacity without auxiliary heat and higher efficiencies at 5 degrees Fahrenheit. The initiative aims to provide clean heating and cooling for American families, reduce carbon emissions, and support President Biden's clean energy goals. The next phase of the Challenge will involve the installation and monitoring of more than 23 prototypes in various cold-climate locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, with the goal of encouraging the adoption of efficient cold-climate electric heat pumps.
