Gregory Holladay, business development manager – specialty markets at Bradford White Water Heaters, is presenting a course on effectively understanding, positioning, and promoting Energy Star-rated electric heat pump water heaters at AESP’s 2022 Spring Training Event on May 16 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Holladay will lead the “Get Heat Pumped Up” session from 8:30 a.m.-noon on the event’s first day to help AESP members become effective champions of electric heat pump water heaters as the industry continues to move toward a more sustainable future. AESP’s 2022 Spring Training Event is a learning event, and attendees will have the opportunity to earn CEU credits for “Get Heat Pumped Up.”

“Electric heat pump water heaters combine tried-and-true water storage and heating technologies to provide users with a reliable, efficient unit,” Holladay said. “With an increasing priority on decarbonization, it’s critical that the good stewards of the energy industry have a deep understanding of the solutions available to contractors and homeowners. Bradford White’s portfolio of Energy Star-rated electric heat pump water heaters delivers extraordinary energy efficiency along with high-quality performance and reliability.”

Holladay will be joined by Howard Merson, Senior Fellow, Trade Ally Strategy & Management at Energy Solutions and Paul Campbell, Director Energy & Sustainability Marketing at ICF. Together, these industry experts will teach attendees to:

• Understand and demonstrate how a heat pump water heater works, saves money, and can ultimately pay for itself through rebates and gained efficiencies.
• Create and measure instant, mid-stream high-dollar rebates.
• Utilize a partnership with Energy Star to promote, educate and evaluate program success through sharing best practices.
