It was tremendously helpful to speak with an Abode technical consultant!

“Thank you, it was tremendously helpful to speak with an Abode technical consultant! We find ourselves in “Go” mode. The Q&A was incredibly helpful to get a sense of whether we are heading in the right direction and the factors to consider. I feel that we are now ready to confidently place our order for the new system and for that informed approach we thank you very much. Cheers to Abode for helping homeowners understand and thus proceed with heat pumps and better energy efficiency!”

The Abode team just spent three days in Portland, Maine, for Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP)`s 2026 Heating Electrification Workshop, connecting with industry colleagues, sharing experiences, and exploring what`s next for heating electrification across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

As a proud Lead Sponsor of #HEW2026, we were glad to support an event that brings together so many people working to make clean heating more affordable, accessible, and practical.

One highlight was Abode`s Kristin Dupre, VP of Strategy and Development, joining Tony Daniels, RA, CEO of Cycle Retrotech, for a session titled “The Rise of Room Heat Pumps.”

Room heat pumps are creating new opportunities to electrify multifamily buildings. Their discussion explored learnings from real-world installations, including tenant comfort, installation logistics, and what it will take to move these technologies from pilot projects to wider adoption.

It`s always valuable to get together with people who are tackling similar challenges from different perspectives. We came away appreciating the conversations, connections, and shared commitment to moving this work forward.

Thanks to NEEP for bringing everyone together for another great workshop!

For the third year, the Abode team traded laptops for gardening gloves and headed to @the_food_project`s Baker Bridge Farm in Lincoln, MA, for a day of service and teamwork.

This year`s to-do list included pulling up old landscape fabric, weeding, and harvesting squash. It was a chance to roll up our sleeves, work alongside one another in a different setting, share some laughs, and support an organization doing incredible work in our community.

🫑 The Food Project is a nonprofit working to build a just, sustainable, and community-driven food system. Since 1991, it has engaged youth in farming and food justice, employing 140 teens each year to grow 200,000 pounds of fresh produce on 70 acres across eastern Massachusetts.

Through our @1percentftp commitment, Abode is proud to support The Food Project financially, but getting out to the farm and contributing our time makes that partnership even more meaningful.

We`re grateful for the opportunity to show up, get our hands dirty, and grow stronger as a team while supporting a cause we believe in.

Abode`s Joe Fisher (on guitar) and Terry Bean (on harmonica) treated everyone to a little impromptu jam session at a recent gathering.

We love discovering the talents of our teammates, and we`re always up for live music!

Who says you can`t have a little fun with heat pumps?

The Abode team took a break from our usual work for some friendly competition, a few laughs, and a little team bonding right at the office!

Our Culture Club organized an afternoon of games, including Pin the Fan on the Condenser, Corn Hole, Can Jam, Frisbee, AND Heat Pump Piñata (Thanks, Isabela!).

As much as we enjoy the work we do together, it`s just as important to make time to connect outside of our day-to-day projects. These are the moments that help build the relationships, friendships, and culture that make Abode such a great place to work.

And really, how many companies can say they have a Heat Pump Piñata?

Thanks to our Culture Club for bringing everyone together!

We’re proud to be a Lead Sponsor of Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP)`s Heating Electrification Workshop 2026!

From October 20–22, the Abode team will be in Portland, Maine joining leaders from across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic to dig into what it will take to make heating electrification more accessible, affordable, and equitable.

This year’s workshop will spotlight innovative market interventions, emerging technologies, workforce development opportunities, consumer education efforts, and policy models that support equitable, affordable electrification.

We’re looking forward to learning, sharing what we’re seeing in the field, and connecting with the people working on these challenges from every angle.

Heading to Portland? We’d love to see you there.

The Abode team was in Worcester last week for the 2026 US Heat Pump Summit, connecting with contractors, industry partners, and two programs we`re proud to support: @masssave and the New England Heat Pump Accelerator.

The Summit brought the technical and business sides of the industry together, with conversations ranging from installation, commissioning, and system design to sales, customer experience, training, and growing a successful heat pump business.

For our team, it was also an important opportunity to hear directly from contractors. What are they seeing in the field? Where are the challenges? What training and resources would actually help? And how can programs like Mass Save and the Accelerator better support the people doing this work every day?

Those conversations are invaluable as we continue working with our partners to make it easier for contractors to access the training, incentives, resources, and support they need to grow their heat pump businesses.

Thanks to the U.S. Heat Pump Summit team and everyone who stopped by to talk with us. We came home with plenty of ideas and, even more importantly, a lot of great contractor conversations to keep building on.
