According to RMI, an independent, nonpartisan nonprofit, in the United States, air source heat pumps have consistently outsold gas furnaces since 2021. In 2024, manufacturers shipped 34% more electric heat pumps than gas furnaces (4.1 million units vs 3.1 million units). Over the past 20 years, annual heat pump sales have increased by 115% while gas furnace sales decreased by 11%. In addition, a recent industry survey commissioned by Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC U.S. (METUS) found that 90% of homeowners with a heat pump system would recommend heat pumps to others. Heat pump systems are the go-to HVAC system in new construction around the country. And as more and more homeowners learn about the energy-saving and environmental benefits of heat pumps, they’re becoming a more common solution when it comes time for HVAC replacement.

Sustainable manufacturing

In addition to the energy-efficient end products you see when you install a new electric heat pump system, Trane keeps sustainability at the heart of the manufacturing process as well. Manufacturing plants themselves have goals to achieve carbon-neutral operations, deliver zero waste to landfills, and design systems for circularity. “We’ve been very successful in adding green steel in our products as well as using recycled aluminum. In terms of using recycled content or raw materials that are produced at lower energy consumption, that percentage keeps growing,” Deshmukh added.
