Pacific Gas & Electric

QuitCarbon has been offering free, expert home electrification retrofit planning, contractor referrals, bid benchmarking, rebate optimization, and more to homes across California for nearly two years. In this dynamic, fast-paced session, you'll learn many hard-won lessons from QuitCarbon's collaborations with non-profits, governments, single-family homeowners, and the local small-business contractors that install heat pumps, do electrical work, insulate and weatherize, etc. This session is ideal for utility, government, non-profit, and program administrator organizations that have ambitious goals around residential decarbonization retrofits

From alignment with California’s decarbonization goals and local ordinances prohibiting new gas installs, Dan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance will outline the necessary steps to electrify an existing single-family home and how to manage whole house strategies for successful electrification retrofits. Case studies demonstrating successful electrification projects will highlight the opportunities to overcome challenges presented by existing infrastructure and planning for backup power during PSPS events.

Join Electrify My Home (EMH) in this lunchtime 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. The electrification movement is quickly gaining momentum. Over 60 cities in California have electrification ordinances and plans are in place to phase out new gas appliances in the next seven years. Incentives, financing, and training programs are essential for helping industry professionals and homeowners meet

As our electricity supply becomes cleaner, due to an increased use of renewables for generation and a growing number of local ordinances prohibiting gas installs in new homes, electricity becomes an attractive fuel source to designers and builders interested in reducing residential greenhouse gas emissions and creating zero carbon homes. Dan Perunko of Balance Point Home Performance will present on efficiency gains, and overcoming common installation pitfalls from electric heat pump water heaters in new and existing buildings.

As more California homeowners begin electrifying their homes, heat pump installers will be faced with the challenge of navigating electrical panel challenges including condition, capacity, fitment, supply chain, etc. With panel and service upgrades being costly and complex, it’s important for practitioners to understand their options for running new circuits. In this session, you’ll hear from Electrify My Home discuss real-world electrical panel scenarios including visual assessments, electrical load calculations, and examples of different solutions to make it work.
