TVA's experience with promoting electric heat pumps as an energy conserving means for space conditioning buildings is related. In the early 1950's there were so many compressor failures and service problems, that heat pumps were avoided. Design research by manufacturers and the development of TVA's Certified Electric Heat Pump Installation Program helped reverse this attitude. In 1977, 80,000 heat pumps serve consumers in the TVA area saving about 560 million KWh or 268,000 tons of coal annually. Further increases in the use of residential heat pumps are expected. (LCL)
