The NW Ductless Heat Pump Project depends on product manufacturers and distributors to provide knowledgeable support and a strong distribution network throughout the region.  We have developed close relationships with preferred manufacturers of qualified ductless heat pumps, and are reaching out to regional distributors to ensure that technical support and supply for products meets or exceeds the needs of local contractors.  Additional support will be provided to all participants by a team of technical leads experienced in sizing, installation, and quality assurance. 

Participation Benefits:
The NW Ductless Heat Pump Project creates the opportunity for manufacturers and distributors to enter into an untapped marketplace with vast opportunity for growth.  While your competitors continue to market outdated technologies and inefficient heating systems, you can get a head start on establishing a customer base and service infrastructure in the regional ductless heat pump market.  Here are just a few reasons why your business should be part of the NW Ductless Heat Pump Project:    

• Connect to new customers
  There are over a million homes in the Northwest that rely on electric resistance space heating, yet the regional market penetration of ductless heat pumps is virtually zero.Studies show that only 5% of Americans have ever heard of a ductless heat pump.  An even smaller number are familiar with the efficiency and practicality of ductless heat pump systems.  The NW Ductless Heat Pump Project gives you the resources you need to reach out to HVAC contractors and encourage them to invest in this beneficial technology.   
• Gain third party credibility
  Not only will it be easier to sell ductless heat pump with utility-backed incentives, but manufacturers and distributors will have the opportunity to cooperatively promote their product with utilities and contractors.
• Project support
  Project participation includes the potential for cooperative marketing, consumer outreach and placement on the project's preferred list of products.
