Manufacturers Heat Pump Water Heating (HPWH) Education session focused on technology features and benefits, appropriate applications, energy efficiency compared to other water heater types, installation techniques, and best practices, service support and warranty, proper maintenance, troubleshooting, and selling strategies.
Heat pumps are an increasingly popular technology that are a highly efficient means of providing heating and cooling in residential and commercial buildings. This course will describe Heat Pump HVAC, when HP-HVAC are allowed under 2022 Codes, code requirements for installation, and how to complete compliance forms. Topics Covered: Overview of heating and cooling technologies and trends, identifying HP-HVAC in the field, Energy Code requirements for HP-HVAC installations and replacements, Energy Code compliance forms, and requirements specific to HP-HVAC.
Heat Pump Dryers are the most efficient dryers on the market and use one quarter or less energy than a typical electric resistance or gas dryer. They use heat pump technology to move heat rather than create it and with their ventless technology, they work well in apartments and multi-family units. Heat pump dryers are also having a moment. Manufacturers are greatly expanding their offering of new models including exciting options where washers are combined with heat pump dryers. Join
As California makes the transition to electrification, careful planning will be crucial for existing buildings. This three-part series will cover the importance of electrification planning, how to optimize existing electrical capacity to avoid costly and often unnecessary panel upgrades, selecting the most efficient equipment that will keep homeowners comfortable and happy, and putting together a comprehensive, detailed, and customized plan that will set homeowners and contractors up for success. Despite popular beliefs, increasing panel capacity in order to electrify a
Everyone’s talking about electrification, but what’s a practical way to participate in this movement? Home Professionals are asking "how can I clarify the benefits to my customers of electrifying their homes?" And "what about navigating the rebate and new incentive landscape?" In The Electrification Course for Professionals, we provide the framework for discussing and planning electrification projects with customers. We help you debunk many of the myths that people believe regarding the superiority of fossil fuels and provide a pathway

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

The case for building All-Electric is stronger than ever. All-Electric homes are cheaper to build and operate, healthier and more comfortable to live in, and have GHG emissions roughly half that of mixed fuel homes. The 2022 California energy code will accelerate adoption of All-Electric building and this class will show why electric homes facilitate easier energy code compliance. Taught by two instructors who have built all-electric homes for themselves and are experts in the field, you’ll get an insider
Homeowners around the world are beginning to embrace electrification (the switch from gas-fired to electric-powered appliances). When done correctly, home electrification brings a plethora of benefits including better air quality, improved comfort, lower environmental footprint, and in many cases quieter operation. The path to going all-electric can take many forms. For some, this means upgrading one appliance at a time; for others, it means replacing them all at once and offsetting with on-site solar. Regardless of the timeline, there are
Heat Pumps are a big part of the solution to meeting California’s climate goals in buildings. In plain terms, they’re reversible air conditioners and have been around for over 100 years. This session is designed for HVAC contractors, builders, and others who want to understand how to install heat pumps right. We will cover how heat pumps can add value to your business, how heat pumps work and various configurations, and how to overcome common installation hurdles. Hurdles covered include dealing with existing ductwork,
As our electricity supply becomes cleaner due to increased use of renewable's for generation along with a growing number of local ordinances prohibiting installs in new homes, electricity becomes an attractive fuel source to designers and builders interested in reducing residential greenhouse gas emissions and creating zero net energy buildings. Dan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance will present on efficiency gains and emissions reductions from electric heat pumps in new and existing buildings and will cover the advantages and
