Heat Pumps Take on Cold Climates

Cars That Think

The challenge will conclude later this year, and prototypes will likely be ready for commercialization in 2025. Those figures are based on heat pumps that draw heat from an air source (rather than ground or water) and includes both homes that pull heat through ductwork, and homes that are ductless. In the U.S.,
