About HeatPumpLab

HeatPumpLab exists to give homeowners honest, data-backed cost estimates for heat pump projects — without the upsell tactics of contractor lead-generation sites. Every calculator on this site is built from cited public data: US Energy Information Administration (EIA) residential fuel prices, ENERGY STAR key product criteria for heat pump efficiency, ASHRAE heating design temperatures, and published 2026 install-cost ranges. Every source is documented on the Methodology page. Data is reviewed at least quarterly.

HeatPumpLab is independent and not affiliated with any contractor network, manufacturer, or home services company. It may earn revenue through display advertising and, on some pages, referral commissions from home services platforms when readers request contractor quotes — those commissions never influence calculator outputs or content.

HeatPumpLab is a small, AI-assisted publication: content is drafted and reviewed by a single operator, using AI tools to help draft and stress-test calculator logic. Every numerical claim is verified against the public sources listed on the Methodology page before publication. See the editorial standards page for the full independence, accuracy, transparency, corrections, and AI-assistance policy.
