SUMMARY:How to Assess a Home for Electrification
DESCRIPTION:How do you know if a home is truly ready for electrification and what upgrades should come first? This fast paced\, practical webinar teaches the core workflow used to assess residential properties for electrification upgrades like heat pumps\, heat pump water heaters\, induction cooking\, EV chargers\, and more. In 90 minutes\, participants will learn how to evaluate a home’s electrification readiness by assessing electrical infrastructure\, mechanical constraints\, gas appliance inventory\, safety issues\, and overall installation feasibility. The session also covers the tools and documentation needed to protect both the customer and the contractor\, and how to communicate findings clearly so projects run smoothly and expectations stay realistic. \n\nInstructor Bio:\n\nLarry Waters \nLarry is the founder of Electrify My Home\, a first-of-its-kind electrification company specializing in residential electrification projects and workforce training. Larry has 40 years HVAC trade experience in service\, installation\, sales\, and management with a specialization in home performance. Beginning in 2014\, Larry’s focus shifted to replacing gas furnace with high-efficiency heat pumps and in that time has designed and installed over 400 systems. Larry is NATE and BPI-certified and serves on multiple boards and committees focused on propelling the movement to Electrify Efficiently. \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\nIntroduction and safety message\nWhat electrification readiness means and how to assess it\nTools\, prep\, documentation\, and safety considerations\nStep-by-step assessment workflow\nSite plan plus key home observations\nGas inventory and conversion planning\nElectrical panel inspection\, capacity strategy\, and safety red flags\nAppliance/mechanical inspection (HVAC\, HPWH\, cooking\, dryers\, venting\, condensate)\nHow to summarize findings and communicate next steps to customers or stakeholders\n\n\n\n\nObjectives\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the essential components of an electrification assessment\nPerform a structured assessment using a repeatable workflow (site plan\, gas inventory\, panel inspection\, appliance/mechanical inspection)\nIdentify electrical panel main capacity\nDocument and communicate results clearly to reduce surprises\, strengthen project planning\, and improve retrofit outcomes\n\n\n\n\nAudience Level\nIntermediate\n\n\nContinuing Education Credits\n\nSee below \n\n\n\nAIA\n1.25\n\n\n\nCABEC\n1.5\n\n\n\nSector\nResidential\n\n\n\nElectrification\nYes

SUMMARY:Residential Heat Pump Installation and Commissioning for Installers\, Raters and Commissioning Agents (Part 2 of 2)
DESCRIPTION:Part two of this series will prepare technicians\, installers\, raters and commissioning agents to address common service call complaints for heat pumps by demonstrating how to correctly collect and interpret power\, static\, temperature and airflow measurements. Dan Perunko will also cover the role of electric resistance heat in the operation of heat pumps and present on fan operation curves. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroductions and safety message\nWhat are common service call complaints for heat pumps\nHow to measure power\nHow to measure static pressure\nHow to measure duct temperature\nHow to measure airflow\nHow to interpret power\, static\, temperature and airflow measurements\nThe role of electric resistance heat\nElectric resistance heat sizing\nWhen is electric resistance heat not needed\nElectric resistance heat control strategies\nElectric resistance heat control wiring diagrams\nElectric resistance heat for defrost only\nCold blow and fan operation curves\nSummary and Q&A\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe measurement techniques for airflow\, power\, and pressure\nPresent the role of electric resistance heat and the cost of its operation\nIdentify control strategies they can implement on new and existing systems to manage electric resistance back up heat\nSummarize the parts of the defrost system\nDescribe typical defrost system repairs\nList the trouble shooting procedures for relays\, circuit boards\, capacitors and motors
