Heat pumps and home electrification are becoming increasingly important in residential construction. For builders in the Carolinas, selecting high-efficiency equipment can support energy performance goals while creating opportunities to qualify for utility incentives.

Evaluating these factors during design can help builders make informed equipment choices and avoid missing potential incentives.
