Transitioning residential and commercial heating and cooling systems from gas to electric is a key component in California’s plan to reduce emissions of global warming gasses. You, the field staff in the HVAC trades will be installing more and more heat pumps as electrification efforts continue to ramp up. It turns out that there are large variations in the operating efficiency of heat pumps that result from our installation and commissioning practices. This webinar will focus on installation practices,

With new incentives, technologies, regulations, demand for heat pumps have outpaced the demand for combustion furnaces. In our previous webinars, we’ve explored the challenges HVAC companies and technicians face when designing, installing, and commissioning heat pumps, but there’s another vital element that many HVAC contractors overlook - the building envelope. In this live webinar, Jeremy Begley from HVAC Design Partners will lead a discussion with air sealing, insulation, and testing experts to explore why incentivizing heat pumps without envelope upgrades |

California and local governments have ambitious building decarbonization goals. Translating those goals into real world conditions will be necessary for success. This forum will explore several hurdles to residential electrification, including electrical panels and building permits, and ways to overcome them. Join us to learn more about how to tell when an electrical panel needs to be upsized, options for electrifying on existing panels, and how building permits and zoning codes may be modified to remove barriers for heat pumps.

It can be easy and fast to electrify your home if you choose strategies that don’t include rewiring, and particularly if you avoid a “service upgrade,” which takes months and thousands of dollars to get a new, thicker electrical wire from the utility. In fact, in most cases, it is not actually necessary to upgrade the panel since the existing one likely has the needed capacity to handle efficient right sized electrification. Using thoughtful electrification processes and cutting-edge appliances and

California is going through one of its most seismic shifts in building energy policy and design. The move towards full decarbonization of the building stock has started and the policy, technical and financial implications are being developed under our feet. We will share how heat pumps and other forms of electric heating can displace our long-time carbon sources of heat. These systems are already available and many are cost effective today. Come discuss this shift and how it will impact |

Heat Pumps are quickly gaining traction as a preferred HVAC and water heating technology, but many customers and contractors are unfamiliar with heat pumps or remain skeptical. In order to meet California’s ambitious heat pump goals (6 million by 2030), contractors and other industry professionals must arm themselves with the knowledge (and sometimes the data) to dispel myths about heat pumps. In this webinar, you’ll hear from Larry Waters, an HVAC industry veteran who switched his focus towards home performance
