Amherst Regional Public School
Amherst Regional Public School’s new elementary school project is expected to secure around $1.6M in utility rebates and over $4M in federal reimbursements from the Inflation Reduction Act. With these combined incentives, the cost of installing ground-source heat pumps is projected to be lower than a traditional fossil gas heating system.
