Heat Pumps: Good for Copake and Good for the Planet!
The Town of Copake and the Climate Smart Task Force are partnering with NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) in a Clean Heating and Cooling Campaign to promote the efficient use of electrical energy. Clean heating and cooling technologies, such as ground and air sourced heat pumps, and heat pump water heaters, can lower your energy bill and reduce the effects of harmful greenhouse gases. And the good news just gets better! When residents of Copake install heat pumps, they are helping the Town earn grant funding that can be used to make Copake an even more earth-friendly and energy-efficient place to live, work and thrive.
