Cold-Climate Heat Pumps for Extreme Conditions: An Alaska Case Study

Description

Join Midea Residential Air Conditioning and the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada (MCAC) for a webinar exploring a real-world cold-climate heat pump installation in Alaska. The session will open with a video highlighting the project, followed by a discussion featuring David Rames, Senior Manager, Product Promotion & Development for Midea Residential Air Conditioning, and an MCAC representative. 

Together, they’ll examine how modern heat pump technology performs in extreme cold, key considerations for cold-climate applications and practical takeaways contractors can apply to projects across Canada.
