On "New Pennsylvania Program Offers Free Heat Pump Training"

Free heat pump training in Pennsylvania is actually smart policy because the shortage isn't theoretical—it's killing jobs right now. Contractors can't staff projects, customers wait months, and the work pays better than most trades if you know what you're doing. A program that feeds trained bodies into the pipeline while helping people see HVAC as a real career move is exactly what the market needs, and it costs the state way less than subsidizing the crews they'll hire down the road. The real question is whether they actually place people and track retention, or if it's another training program that sounds good in a press release and vanishes.
