Rewiring America Announces Heat Pump Access Program, Seeks Requests For Proposals

Rewiring America, an electrification nonprofit, issued a request for proposals for qualified manufacturers of heat pump equipment to partner on the development of a new Heat Pump Access Program. The deadline to submit is Oct. 11.

Rewiring America is a member of Power Forward Communities, a coalition of five of the country’s most trusted community development, housing, and climate organizations dedicated to decarbonizing and upgrading American housing. PFC was awarded a $2 billion grant from the Environmental Protection Agency through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to support the affordable decarbonization of homes and apartments throughout the country, with a particular focus on low-income and disadvantaged communities.

Rewiring America is tasked with designing and deploying a program specifically focused on single-family, owner-occupied low and moderate-income homes within the U.S., and will be the contracting counterparty as it relates to this RFP.

The organization’s Heat Pump Access Program will deliver improved home comfort and energy savings for families, which will then open up new market opportunities for manufacturers, distributors and installers of HVAC equipment.
