Qualified contractors and installers play a fundamental role in the NW Ductless Heat Pump Project.  We are reaching out to HVAC technicians through a series of regional manufacturer training sessions and project orientations.  Once contractors have completed both, they can begin to leverage the project to expand their businesses within the ductless heat pump market. 

Participation Benefits: The NW Ductless Heat Pump Project stimulates a new regional market, creating limitless opportunity for HVAC contractors and installers. Project benefits include: 

• New market with high growth potential
  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 future customers and encourage them to invest in this beneficial technology.
  
• Connect to new customers
  With ductless heat pump technology, you can attract the growing number of homeowners who want central air conditioning and cost-effective heating systems.
  
• Gain third party credibility
  Utility support for this project makes selling the product simple.  Many utilities are encouraging customer participation by offering incentives for installations in their territory.  Contractors will also have the opportunity to take part in cooperative promotions with utilities and manufacturers. 
  
• Profitable installations
  Contractors will receive high pay-offs on installations that are simple and quick.
  
• Project support
  Through project participation, contractors get access to marketing materials, customer outreach assistance, and orientation sessions.
