Why Electrification is the Future of Contracting
Gas is on the way out. From city ordinances to state building codes, California is rapidly moving toward an all-electric future — and homeowners are following. Heat pump water heaters, high-efficiency HVAC systems, induction cooktops, EV chargers, and battery storage are no longer niche upgrades — they’re the new standard.
But this transition doesn’t happen by accident. It needs contractors who can guide homeowners through the process with skill, confidence, and trust. This series is built to help you become that contractor — someone who installs clean technologies and understands the whole-house journey to electrification.
What This Series Will Help You Master
Whole-Home Thinking: Learn how appliances, panels, envelope, and usage all interact — and how to stage upgrades that work together.
Smart Project Planning: Understand sequencing, permitting, utility coordination, and customer education so jobs stay on schedule and within budget.
Real Solutions for Real Homes: Not every home is “electrification-ready.” Get tools to assess existing conditions, manage loads, and propose realistic pathways — even when needed for panel upgrades or attic work.
Customer Confidence: From energy savings to rebate timelines, learn to clearly explain the value of going electric — without overpromising or overselling.
