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 

If you are in the Homer area and are interested in a heat pump, you can find a list of local installers here.

2025 may be a different kind of historical milestone: the year we’re forced to rely on an interruptible gas supply. At the end of March, the one-year ENSTAR contract that’s currently meeting HEA’s needs will expire. Under the follow-up ENSTAR contract that’s now in front of state regulators, ENSTAR would not face contractual penalties if it fails to deliver the gas HEA needs in 2025.
