PSEG-LI will host a conference April 4 for anyone interested in learning more about heat pumps.
The utility said that more than 400 people are expected to attend the “Electrify Long Island” conference to learn about the benefits of electric heat pumps, which function as both air conditioners and heaters and are considered to be a greener and more economical way to heat and cool homes.
The conference will be held on Thursday, April 4, from 7:30 AM – 4 PM at the Hilton Long Island/Huntington at 598 Broadhollow Road in Melville. The event will include breakfast with keynote speaker Rory Christian, chairperson and CEO of the NYS Public Service Commission, educational breakout sessions and hands-on workshops throughout the day, more than a dozen exhibitors, lunch, and networking opportunities.
Some of the topics to be covered are:
- How heat pump technology is transforming the way Long Islanders heat and cool their homes and workplaces;
- Heat pump systems: how they operate and why they are so energy efficient;
- Design, sales, and installation of heat pumps – including setup pitfalls and protocols, and performance testing and verification;
- And available rebates, tax credits, and incentives, and how PSEG Long Island can help customers qualify.
With a goal of achieving 100% zero-emission electricity by 2040, New York State leads the nation in transitioning to a clean energy economy. Hosting this first-ever conference is one way PSEG Long Island is making heat pump technologies a major part of the future for electric customers on Long Island and in the Rockaways, supporting the state goal.
The utility said that the conference would be especially useful for people in the commercial and residential heating and cooling industry; school and multifamily dwelling property managers; pool companies; geothermal installers; building developers, designers, architects and engineers; and homeowners.
