Energy Efficiency
Heat pumps achieve 300-400% efficiency (3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity) compared to traditional electric systems at 30-40% efficiency.
By using up to 75% less electricity, Hamilton families reduce strain on the power grid during peak periods and contribute to a cleaner energy future.
Every Hamilton Heat Pump Makes a Difference
