Join us for an info session on heat pumps, an eco-friendlier solution for home heating and cooling that are commonplace in Europe.
About this Event

Our first session sold out and had a waitlist, so we're hosting another!

Are you considering replacing your existing furnace with a heat pump or mini-split, but unsure if it's right for you? Are you interested in reducing your home's carbon footprint and energy use? Are you curious about how much money you can save by switching to this system that's common in Scandinavia and mainland Europe? Are you wondering what tax rebates and other incentives exist for Chicago residents?

If so, you should definitely attend this info session and community social, which will feature a presentation from Rory Toelle of Northwind Heating and Air Conditioning, a heat pump expert who has been installing them for the last 5 years. He'll cover all the basic info, detail the environmental impact reduction, and address the misconceptions. You'll also hear from The Electric Home Company about cost comparisons and potential energy savings. At the end, two homeowners who have had heat pumps installed will speak briefly about their experience. You'll have time to ask them all your most burning questions! The event will also have a community meet and greet portion where you can check in and buy any food/beverage you'd like the The First Sip.
