"As energy prices continue to rise, upgrading to efficient electric appliances like heat pumps should be top of mind for Rhode Islanders. Enrolling in Rewiring America’s Heat Pump Access program now means households can optimize their saving potential, benefiting from the program’s discounted pricing and the federal incentives while they're still available," said Ari Matusiak, CEO of Rewiring America. "And this home upgrade will continue to pay dividends for households, allowing them to benefit from the increased comfort and likely bill savings heat pumps provide for years to come."

"As a Rhode Island-based company for over 75 years, GEM has always been deeply connected to the needs of our neighbors. Heat pumps are a smart, future-ready solution—bringing comfort, efficiency, and cost savings to households right here in our state,” said Jeff Gemma, President of GEM Plumbing & Heating. “Partnering with Rewiring America and local organizations allows us to make this technology more accessible to the families we’ve been proud to serve for generations. We’re excited to continue leading the way in delivering innovative solutions that improve lives and strengthen our community."

"GEM’s commitment to partnering in programs like the Heat Pump Access initiative underscores why they are one of the most respected home service brands in the country. Our ability to innovate while staying true to our mission of service creates a model for growth across HomeX Services Group,” said Joseph Andrade, COO of HomeX Services Group. “This partnership reflects the kind of leadership that not only strengthens GEM’s position in the industry but also accelerates our group’s broader vision of building a more efficient, sustainable, and customer-focused future for home services in the Northeast."

“We are thrilled to collaborate with so many local partners and Rewiring America to help Rhode Islanders upgrade to more efficient electric HVAC systems. Over the past eight years of doing this work, the most rewarding projects are local, innovative ones like this, where we simplify what can otherwise be a complicated process for homeowners,” said Dave Boettcher, Founder & CEO of Abode. “We’re eager to continue to see this program grow and help more Rhode Islanders reap the comfort, health, and potential savings benefits that this upgrade provides.” 

“Capital Good Fund is proud to play a role in making these critical home upgrades affordable and accessible,” said Andy Posner, Founder & CEO of Capital Good Fund. “We are grateful to join forces with Rewiring America and the team of like-minded local organizations to expand access to heat pumps for Rhode Islanders. Together, we’re ensuring ALL families can reduce costs, improve comfort, and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future.”

"We're excited to connect Rhode Islanders with trusted resources and discounted heat pumps that allow them to reduce their costs and fossil fuel use while improving comfort," said Amanda Barker, Program Manager at Green Energy Consumers Alliance. "By working with community organizations and our members, we can ensure these benefits reach the households that need them most - helping Rhode Island meet its climate goals while creating just, healthier, and more resilient communities."

The program is part of Rewiring America’s effort to invest in community-based initiatives that streamline the complex and individualized process of electrification into a scalable and repeatable model. Residential electrification, the process of upgrading inefficient fossil fuel and electric resistance appliances to more efficient electric appliances, has the potential to reduce peak load demand, create good-paying local jobs, lower energy bills, and slash emissions.
