Rural New England towns ditch expensive electricity through heat pump upgrades

With states across the country seeing skyrocketing energy costs, more and more homeowners and governments are looking for energy-efficient upgrades to reduce the burden of pricey monthly bills.

A video shared by WBUR, Boston’s National Public Radio affiliate, explained how rural New England towns are ditching pricey energy prices by adopting heat pump technology.

@wbur Everything is expensive nowadays. Especially energy costs, and especially if you’re a small town like Warwick, Mass., with a population of 780. Older, less energy-efficient public buildings with high heating bills have these towns looking for savings. Rural towns are embracing a switch to electric appliances, powered by home-grown renewable energy. They’re finding that the move both spares their pocketbooks and helps the planet.
