Tim Wegner spent years as Placer County's chief building official. Now he's making the case for a SPUR + Permit Power bill, AB 1738, expanding remote inspections for wildfire-ready roofs, heat pump water heaters, home solar + battery. Read his op-ed: 👇 🔗 www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

“Assembly Bill 1738 would let homeowners and contractors request a remote inspection instead of an in-person visit.”

Only one week left to join the summer 26' heat pump group buy! Been thinking about upgrading all summer? This is the week to actually do it. heatpumpgroupbuy.com This group buy is our biggest yet. Excited to share what comes out of it.

So you want a heat pump. Now what? · Luma
So you want a heat pump this summer? Now what? You've heard heat pumps are the future. Maybe your neighbor got one. Maybe you're sick of your gas bill. Maybe…

This weekend, we celebrate classic American pastimes: fireworks, grilling, getting a heat pump quote, getting another heat pump quote, realizing the AC died, and panic-installing an outdated low-efficiency furnace because everyone is melting.
AI explains quantum physics, but heat pump quotes? It mostly regurgitates marketing copy. No two quotes are alike, and brand matters much less than everything else in the fine print. Got a quote lately? What melted your brain? We’re building a guide at @heatpumped.org and would love your input.
Most HVAC installs are unplanned: Try to turn on the heat in fall or AC in spring, find it broken, call an HVAC shop, get it replaced with whatever they have on the shelf. A little forethought - and maybe teaming up with neighbors - can get you a (cleaner, better-performing) heat pump instead!
Shreyas Sudhakar@shreyassudhakar.com · 2mo agoGreat to see @motherjones.com pick up the heat pump group buy chatter! I always love it when the conversation breaks out of the electrification community into more mainstream channels. Thanks for the feature!

We rate dogs with heat pumps. Probs a new recurring series. This is Max. Skeptical of contractors as a policy. Made an exception for Tommy. Is now napping directly on top of the vent. We sized the system for the whole house, Max. 12/10

Canary Media Inc.@canarymedia.com · 2mo agoIt’s about to be a chill summer for Mittens, a 16-year-old cat who’s recovering after being hit by a car. The feline’s owner partnered with other Bostonians to buy heat pumps at a bulk discount — a strategy that’s taking off around the country.
Installing heat pumps at a dozen houses on a block costs less than doing so at a dozen houses all over town. Roll trucks to the block for a couple of days, bang out a bunch of installs, pass 10-20% savings on to the households. Also a good way to nudge neighbors off the electrification fence!

Stoked to share the shiny new @vayu.pro website! I think it does a much better job capturing our ethos and the humans behind it. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Don’t even know where to start about how misleading the caption is for this article. It’s not a “gas water heater ban”, and “expensive heat pumps” is a very loaded choice of words. Newspapers have a responsibility to tell the whole story without a slant, this is disappointing.
San Francisco Chronicle@sfchronicle.com · 3mo agoBay Area Air District directors showed a sharp split Wednesday over whether to delay a controversial natural gas water heater ban that would require the purchase of expensive heat pumps instead.

Lots of great points in here. I also wrote about similar themes in @sfchronicle.com a few months ago: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

OPINION: Without major changes to the way Californians pay for energy, we’ll lose the precious opportunities new electric technologies provide.

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies. It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony
