Heat Pump 101 

Wow, how gratifying it is when our community shows up! We unexpectedly filled both virtual and physical rooms with last week’s Heat Pump 101 event in numbers greater than we’ve seen since precovid. 

If you were not one of the ~130 people in attendance and are curious about heat pumps, watch the meeting recording here. This event was held in Homer as part of Homer Drawdown’s Climate Smart Homes program. 

Presenters included:

  • Andy Romanoff, Alaska Heat Smart Director
  • Andy Lorentz and Randy Ardnt, local heat pump installers
  • Erin Mckittrick, HEA Board Member
