Energy Skilled™ Heat Pump Professionals


The United States Department of Energy, in an effort to connect consumers to trained and certified heat pump system professionals, launched a website where a list of Energy Skilled™ Recognized individuals can be found.

Energy Skilled™ professionals have undergone training, passed a certification, or both, to demonstrate their knowledge of advanced heat pump technologies. As consumers demand more energy efficient appliances, HVACR professionals will be required to be proficient in the installation, commissioning, and servicing of these advanced technologies.
