The Project created a printable heating comparison tool that utilities and market partners can use to aid in communicating the benefits of ductless systems to homeowners. Project-branded and utility-branding-ready versions are available. This tool helps compare the comfort, costs, and convenience of several typical home heating solutions and is an excellent resource for utilities and supply chain partners to provide to their customers.

With your support, 2017 has been a pivotal year for HPWH market development. Highlights include:  

• 8,267 sales from January - September 2017, a 56% increase over the same period last year
• 85 utilities offering HPWH rebates as of August 2017, an 18% increase since August 2016
• Launch of the Sanden SANCO2 HPWH, available at Johnstone Supply, Small Planet, and Gensco. The SANCO₂ is the first CO₂ refrigerant split system HPWH to be added to the Advanced Water Heater Specification. 

The team is very excited about the continuing upward trend in HPWH sales and utility rebate programs, and will continue to boost HPWH technology through promotions, training, manufacturer engagement, and marketing activities.
