In 2025, distributors faced a backlog of heat pump equipment due to stocking up in 2024, but despite temporary challenges, heat pumps remain the most efficient way to heat and cool homes. The high cost of heat pump systems has hindered widespread adoption, but federal funding and incentive programs are making them more affordable. State and local governments are implementing initiatives such as rebates and lower electricity rates for heat pump owners to promote their usage. The market is transitioning from gas furnaces to heat pumps, signaling a shift towards more sustainable heating and cooling solutions.
