Overview

HeatPumpWise provides screening tools and source notes to help with early heat-pump decisions.

⚡ Transparent Heat Pump Tools

HeatPumpWise is a free, independent resource for US homeowners and contractors researching heat pumps. It provides early-stage sizing, cost, savings and balance-point calculators alongside method notes, source references and clear professional limits. The tools help homeowners prepare better questions and compare written proposals; they do not replace a Manual J load calculation, equipment selection, permit review or contractor design.

Screen a heat-pump project without hiding the assumptions

  • Use versioned calculators for early load, cost and energy scenarios.
  • Review the formulas, source status and limits.
  • Transparent screening tools and source notes for early heat-pump decisions.
  • Estimates are not HVAC designs or installation instructions.
