Why a heat pump still makes sense without the federal credit
Our winters are mild and our summers are brutal, exactly the profile where a modern inverter heat pump wins. It cools as well as any air conditioner, heats for a fraction of what resistance or an old furnace costs, and runs quietly at partial load through a 105° afternoon. Between utility rebates, the Air District grant for wood-stove homes, and the 10–20% lower summer bills a right-sized system delivers, the math usually works even without Washington’s help.
