Heat Pump Retrofits for Condominiums

As the need for air conditioning increases, now is the ideal time to plan for heat pump installation standardization for the purpose of retrofits. Washington’s energy mandates require associations to support installations while ensuring compliance with ESSB 5973 (Heat Pump in Common Interest Communities). Acting early can help avoid rising costs and potential supply shortages during peak air conditioning season.
