Ten of the world’s largest manufacturers, distributors and suppliers of building heating and cooling equipment have signed an agreement committing to actions to help California achieve its goal to have six million electric heat pumps installed by 2030.
More than 1.5 million heat pumps are currently installed throughout California.
The manufacturers include AO Smith Corp, Carrier, Daikin, Fujitsu, Johnson Controls, Lennox International, LG Electronics, Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US, Rheem Manufacturing Co and Trane Technologies.
The companies have agreed to create manufacturing capacity, enhance efficiency and incorporate load flexibility. They will also collaborate with the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop a public-private partnership to facilitate policy and market support to bring heat pumps into the mainstream.
