"Under the Sun" Solar Blog
In ReVision Energy's solar blog, we discuss policy, incentives, news, technology and other issues surrounding renewable energy.
We’ve been installing cold climate heat pumps for 7+ years, earning Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Elite contractor status and installing more than 3,000 systems.
In our latest video, we showcase how it’s a combination of not just installation details – triple evacuation, aesthetics, and other attention to detail – but also in-house engineering design that maximizes the efficiency and reduction of fossil fuel use that’s possible with a Mitsubishi heat pump.
Our approach (to use mini-split heat pumps in key areas of the home and not to overbuild the system) is the most cost-effective and efficient approach to designing your solar-powered home heating system.
