Global policies for a carbon-neutral future mean potential changes for your heating and cooling system.
Electrification
Our world is rapidly evolving, and now, more than ever, there is growing concern about greenhouse gas emissions and how they accelerate climate change. Global leaders are hoping to quell the crisis by pushing for decarbonization.
Decarbonization aims to reduce carbon emissions through several methods, including new refrigerants, increased energy efficiency standards and electrification, all of which are affecting change in the heating and cooling industry.
Electrification: Coming To A City Near You Soon
Electrification refers to the process of replacing fossil fuel or natural gas burning equipment with similar electric equipment, appliances, or systems. It’s a component of decarbonization that can be implemented with currently available products.
In America, state and local governments are leading the charge with electrification policies, including building code revisions that encourage all-electric communities. The U.S. government is doing its part as well, establishing a series of goals to cool the effects global warming, including:
By 2030: Reduce carbon emissions by 50-52% below 2005 levels
By 2035: 100% clean energy
By 2050: Carbon emissions reduced to net zero1
Benefits Of Electrification
Creating an all-electric comfort system that includes a GrandAire heat pump can reap many benefits, including:
A reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 38-53% over a 15-year period and reduce 20-year global warming potential by 53-67% when compared to a gas furnace.2
Improved summer comfort if the home is currently not air conditioned.
Available federal tax credits and local utility company rebate programs can help cover some of the costs of a new high-efficiency heat pump
