Most Newport homes heat with oil. Here is what switching to a heat pump looks like financially.
Newport has 5,500 heating degree days (Climate Zone 5). Cold-climate models are recommended for reliable performance below 5°F.
650 cooling degree days. Light cooling needs. The real value is in heating efficiency.
We install heat pumps with our own crews across Rhode Island. No subcontractors, no lead selling.
Our crews live in Rhode Island. We know RI Energy rebate paperwork, local permits, and Newport building codes.
Climate Zone 5 requires proper equipment sizing. We use Manual J calculations for every Newport installation.
We handle all Rhode Island rebate applications for you. Clean Heat RI paperwork, utility filings, and income-eligible programs if you qualify.
No overselling. We match the heat pump to your Newport home's actual heating and cooling load, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
NuWatt's Rhode Island team will assess your home, recommend the right system, handle all rebate paperwork, and give you an honest price.
