Oil prices are through the roof. And with Eversource and National Grid filing for higher gas rates this winter, heating your home could get even more expensive.
If you’re bracing for this winter’s heating bills, it may be time to look at a cold-climate heat pump: one high-efficiency system that heats your home in the winter and cools it in the summer.
We Made the Switch Ourselves
When filling a 250-gallon oil tank started approaching $2,000, we knew it was time to look at another option, so we switched to a heat pump.
We recommend heat pumps to our customers for the same reasons we chose one for our own home.
One System for Heating and Cooling
- Heat your home in the winter. Today’s cold-climate heat pumps are built for New England winters.
- Cool it in the summer. The same system works as a high-efficiency air conditioner, with no window units to haul out every June.
- Reduce your dependence on oil. A heat pump runs on electricity, so you’re not stuck refilling the tank every time prices jump.
- Upgrade to high-efficiency technology. Heat pumps move heat instead of burning fuel to make it, which makes them some of the most efficient systems available for your home.
Rebates Can Help With the Cost
Homeowners in Massachusetts and New Hampshire may qualify for utility rebates on qualifying heat pump installations. See what’s available this year:

Is a Heat Pump Right for Your Home?
Every home is different. The right system depends on your home’s size, layout, insulation and how you heat it today. Some homeowners replace oil entirely; others add a heat pump and keep their existing system as a backup for the coldest days.
