Free Webinar: Electrify Efficiently: Electrification Opportunities for Plumbers, January 31, 12-1:30pm PT
Event Description
Electrification is taking form in California (and elsewhere!) - gas water heaters are being based out in the Bay Area by 2027 and over 70 municipalities have policies phasing out gas appliances. The massive transition from gas to electric will "spark" giant demand for all trades, including plumbers. In this session, Electrify My Home will introduce unique business opportunities for plumbers with a focus on heat pump water heaters, strategies for collaborating with other trades (e.g., electricians), and the importance of comprehensive electrification planning.
The objective of this course is that at the conclusion, participants will be able to:
- Summarize importance of Electrify My Home's approach to 'good electrification'
- Name at least 2 factors driving the market for electric water heaters
- Describe one feature of gas water heaters that's lead to their phase-out.
- Be aware of the percentage of California homes with a gas water heater
- Explain why heat pump water heaters can be helpful for the electrical grid
- Electrification market in California and PG&E service territory
- Gas water heater phase out
- Electrification opportunities in California
- Heat pump water heaters and the electrical grid
