SUMMARY:Electrify Efficiently: Overcoming Heat Pump Objections
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Electrify My Home continues this ‘lunch-and-learn’ webinar series focused on home electrification. The Electrify Efficiently webinar series will highlight the tremendous business opportunities\, vital role of efficiency\, and lessons learned from the field. Heat Pumps are quickly gaining traction as a preferred HVAC and water heating technology. California has a goal for 6 million installed heat pumps by 2030\, and state plans indicate that new gas furnace and water heaters will not be permitted after 2030. While the path forward for heat pumps seems clear\, the technology is still foreign to most homeowners. To meet the above-mentioned goals\, contractors and other industry professionals must arm themselves with the knowledge (and sometimes the data) to dispel myths about heat pumps. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll hear from Larry Waters\, an HVAC industry veteran who switched his focus towards home performance in 2010 and towards inverter heat pumps in 2014. With over 400 heat pump installations under his belt\, Larry’s heard just about every objection in the book and will relay best practices for responding to such objections. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nOverview of the Electrify My Home “Electrify Efficiently” webinar series\nApproaching the house\nConsultative questioning to identify needs\nCommon objections to heat pumps and sample responses\nClass survey\, closing and wrap up\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nDevelop two consultative questions that will help prepare a response to a customer’s objection\nDescribe one reason why older vintage heat pumps spoiled the opinions of some customers & HVAC pros\nName three features of gas appliances that are disadvantageous\nExplain why heat pumps are the perfect fit for California’s climate\nList five reasons why heat pumps are better than gas furnaces

SUMMARY:Elements Of A Whole House Assessment: The Home Energy Audit Explained
DESCRIPTION:Measured Home Performance is different from other approaches to saving energy and making money in the home improvement industry. The principal difference is the measured results of home performance contracting\, as opposed to the hoped for benefits offered by other contracting services. The measured home performance process begins with a thorough examination of the home using diagnostic test equipment to measure the current performance of the home and its mechanical systems with the ultimate goal of obtaining all the information needed to present a proposal\, which will save energy and meet the other needs of the homeowner. A clear understanding of how a home is performing takes much more than just a clipboard and a stroll around the house. In this session we will go through the process\, exploration and testing necessary to perform a comprehensive Home Energy Audit. \nInstructor: Judy Rachel\, Home Performance Pro

SUMMARY:Electrify Efficiently: Electrification Opportunities for Plumbers
DESCRIPTION:Electrification is taking form in California – gas water heaters are being based out in the Bay Area by 2027 and over 70 municipalities have policies phasing out gas appliances. The massive transition from gas to electric will “spark” giant demand for all trades\, including plumbers. In this session\, Electrify My Home will introduce unique business opportunities for plumbers with a focus on heat pump water heaters\, strategies for collaborating with other trades (e.g.\, electricians)\, and the importance of comprehensive electrification planning.

SUMMARY:Electrify Efficiently: Electrification Opportunities for Solar Installers
DESCRIPTION:California’s push for building electrification is quickly driving major changes in the residential energy sphere. Solar contractors\, designers\, and affiliated trades have the opportunity to capture additional market share by offering or referring gas-to-electric appliance services. This is especially important in light of recent NEM policy changes. Solar\, batteries\, and home appliance electrification offer a perfect match for getting customers to Zero Net Energy\, or at least minimizing operational costs. \nIn this session\, Electrify My Home will introduce basics of heat pumps as well as highlighting the business opportunities for solar professionals to add new services to their repertoire or to at least speak to these offerings with more confidence.
