Why do we host training & events?
Our training curriculum is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and resources they need to effectively design, sell, and install heat pumps. Developed in collaboration with utilities, distributors, and manufacturers, the training content is up-to-date and relevant to the industry's needs. Attendees can expect a focus on customer research and trends, sizing and design considerations, incentives and financing opportunities, and tools to support increased sales and installations of heat pump technologies. In-person training events often satisfy the requirements to join the Preferred Contractor Network, a lead generation tool that connects homeowners with quality heat pump installers.

Resources for Contractors
Installation contractors play a critical role in customers’ HVAC product selection. When customers make smart, energy efficient selections, such as cold-climate heat pumps, they will see an increase in home comfort and a decrease in energy use as well as emissions. The MN ASHP Collaborative curated select resources on topics such as installation best practices and design considerations. These resources are intended to complement manufacturer-specific product training.
