Installation specifications: Extended capacity heat pump must be a central ducted system listed on Energy Trust’s qualified products list and replace an electric forced-air furnace as the residence’s primary heating source. If back up heat present, must be electric. Cannot be combined with other heat pump, heat pump control or smart thermostat incentives.

Extended capacity heat pump: An extended capacity heat pump maintains a higher level of compressor heating output at lower temperatures when compared to a single-, two- or variable-speed heat pump. This allows the extended capacity heat pump compressor to effectively operate in freezing temperatures without activating inefficient backup strip heat or electric furnace. Avoiding the use of backup heat during cold months allows an extended capacity heat pump to save a significant amount of energy during the winter.
