The following contractors are licensed, insured, and certified to do heat pump installations and wirings. You are not required to use a contractor from this list for your ACES heat pump installation. This list is intended to serve as a resource only.
We strongly encourage you to confirm that whatever contractor you select for your installation has the necessary certifications and experience to install your heat pump successfully. Alaska Heat Smart does not make recommendations regarding specific installers. This list will be frequently updated as additional contractors provide us with their qualifications. We hope to eventually include contractors from each community in the program area, but applicants do not need to wait for contractors from their community to be added to proceed. To be added to this list, see the requirements below.
