SUMMARY:Electrify Efficiently: Staging Home Electrification Projects
DESCRIPTION:Long-term planning is essential when it comes to most whole-home electrification journeys. By taking into consideration a customer’s long-term needs alongside their immediate needs\, you can help customers avoid costly mistakes. In this webinar\, participants will hear insights and recommendations on optimal order of operations of electrification installs. These insights come from Electrify My Home’s deep experience on hundreds of real-world electrification projects. Come prepared with questions about your electrification projects. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nElectrify My Home: “good electrification” and “install small”\nPlanning ahead for electrification\nStaging electrification projects\nQ&A\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain two reasons why planning a panel upgrade is so important\nDescribe the rationale behind why single trade contractors should advise beyond their specific product or installation\nExplain why an inverter heat pump may be beneficial if future building enclosure upgrades are planned\nSummarize importance of Electrify My Home’s approach to “good electrification” and “install small”

SUMMARY:Electrify Efficiently: Home Heat Pumps Done Right - A Case Study
DESCRIPTION: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 some important planning steps that must take place\, as well as a continual vision for optimizing efficiency. \nJoin Electrify My Home in this session for a case study of a customer’s electrification journey. You’ll also hear directly from the customer\, who will share why they went gas-free\, why they chose to pursue efficiency measures\, and what bumps in the road were faced on this adventure. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nOverview of the Electrify My Home “Electrify Efficiently” webinar series\nThe electrification path/journey\nThings every customer (and contractor) should consider along the way\nElectrify My Home customer interview\nClass survey\, closing and wrap up\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the planning process every electrification candidate should pursue\nIdentify the pros and cons of pursuing all gas appliance upgrades at once\nName at least two reasons why Electrify My Home customer chose to focus on efficiency\nExplain EMH’s reasoning behind their approach for this customer’s application

SUMMARY:Introduction to Variable Capacity Heat Pumps\, Improved Comfort and Energy Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:This content offers an introduction to variable capacity heat pumps (VCHP) for contractors who are not yet familiar with this type of HVAC equipment. It begins by defining the type and continues by describing the intended benefits of VCHPs compared to earlier models of heat pumps. Participants take away important knowledge as well as an understanding of where to take their learning next. They learn a simple classification strategy to use to help select the type of VCHP to use on their projects. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nWhat are Variable Capacity Heat Pumps (VCHPs)?\nBenefits of VCHPs to Contractors and Customers\nTypes of VCHPs and Terminology”Sources” of the heat used by VCHPs\nEasy classification strategy for VCHPs\nAvailable indoor unit types VCHP applications to consider\nNext steps to continue your learning
