SUMMARY:Heat Pump Water Heaters: Why Split Systems Matter
DESCRIPTION:Integrated “tower” heat pump water heaters were an important first step in electrification\, but real-world installations reveal significant frustration and limitations around space\, noise\, comfort\, condensate management\, and performance. Split systems solve these challenges while delivering superior efficiency\, homeowner comfort\, and installation flexibility. \nThis webinar explores how heat pump water heaters actually work\, the practical problems created by integrated tower designs\, and why split systems are rapidly becoming a practical solution for contractors and homeowners across single-family\, manufactured\, multi-family\, and ADU applications. You’ll see performance comparisons\, real-world efficiency data\, and clear guidance on when and why to consider split systems. \nGet ready to move beyond the limitations of tower units and deliver better hot water solutions that prioritize customer comfort and long-term satisfaction. \nLearning Objectives:\n• Identify where split-system heat pump water heaters can provide advantages for contractors and homeowners\n• Compare the Advantages of splits over unitary towers\n• Evaluate the potential energy savings and efficiency improvements offered by split-system heat pump water heaters \nInstructors:\nRod Williams\, Eco-logical on behalf of BPI\nRod was born in Australia and is currently the President of Eco-logical. After completing his commerce studies\, he left home to see the world at age twenty-three. His first overseas trip saw him catch the Trans-Siberian railroad across Russia which excited him for more adventure. \nHe has lived and worked in Australia\, France\, Switzerland\, London and Newburyport\, Massachusetts and conducted business in forty countries during his business development career. He has always had a keen interest in history and what makes people tick in each of those societies. \nDuring the last 15 years he has worked in the energy efficiency and electrification industry whilst living in Santa Cruz\, California with his wife Sheila and youngest daughter\, Sophie. He considers himself bi-coastal\, but in his case\, meaning West Coast USA and East Coast Australia.

SUMMARY:Electrical Panel Assessments – Examples for Heat Pump Installers
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nAs more California homes are electrified\, heat pump installers will have to navigate electrical panel challenges such as condition\, capacity\, fitment\, and supply chains. With panel and service upgrades being expensive and complex\, it will be important to understand all options for running new circuits. In this class you will learn how to carry out visual assessments and make electrical load calculations\, discuss real-world electrical panel scenarios and see examples of different solutions to ‘make it work’. \n  \nLearning Outcomes: \nAs a result of attending this class\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain why a panel with all circuits occupied doesn’t necessarily mean it is at full capacity\nRecognize when upgrading a home’s electrical capacity might not be the most beneficial option\nDescribe multiple solutions to adding new circuits in a panel that has no remaining physical space\n\n Target Audience: \n\nElectricians\nContractors\nGeneral\n\nPrerequisite(s): \n\nN/A\n\nLearning Units: \n\nN/A\n\n  \nInstructor Information: \nLarry Waters \nLarry Waters is the founder of Electrify My Home\, a first-of-its-kind electrification company specializing in residential electrification and workforce training. Larry has over 40 years of HVAC trade experience in service\, installation\, sales\, and management with a specialization in home performance. In early 2014 Larry’s focus shifted to replacing gas furnaces with high-efficiency heat pumps. Larry is NATE and BPI-certified and serves on multiple boards and committees aiming at propelling the movement to #ElectrifyEfficiently. \nLearning Level: \nIntermediate Class: Content is appropriate for individuals who possess a fundamental understanding of the topic and have familiarity with basic terminology and methodology of the subject matter. Attendees should have the capacity to participate in instructor-led exercises requiring synthesis and application of concepts. \nSpecial Instructions: \nThis is a live webinar presented via Microsoft Teams and internet access is required.
