Assessment

In the May 2021 study titled '3H Hybrid Heat Homes: An Incentive Program to Electrify Space Heating and Reduce Energy Bills in American Homes,' co-authored by Alexander Gard-Murray, Stephen Pantano, Matt Malinowski, and Nate Adams for CLASP, the authors proposed a federal manufacturer-side incentive program to replace conventional central air conditioners with electric heat pumps. The report explicitly projected that the 10-year policy rollout would generate over $27 billion in direct consumer heating and energy bill savings, directly confirming the claim.

CLASP's May 2021 study '3H Hybrid Heat Homes' co-authored by Alexander Gard-Murray et al. proposed a manufacturer-side conversion incentive to transition unitary air conditioners to heat pumps.
The 2021 study modeled that converting 45 million replacements over a 10-year period would save consumers over $27 billion on energy bills.
Subsequent regulatory filings (such as joint EPA ENERGY STAR comments in June 2023) reaffirmed the 3H report's projection of $27 billion in 10-year consumer energy savings.
