RMI Carbon-Free Buildings reposted this
Did you know that replacing a gas furnace with a heat pump could reduce carbon pollution by 34–93 percent across all 48 contiguous states, depending on your region? City governments, home contractors, and community partners can collectively lead the charge on home energy upgrades through local “Electrify” programs that help lower costs and accelerate heat pump adoption. Our new “Five-Step Guide to Develop a Local Home Electrification Program” shares insights from 12 RMI-supported Electrify programs that engaged over 56,000 residents, mobilized more than 100 home contractors, and are projected to result in over 3,000 heat pump installations. The five key steps include: 1️⃣ Developing a program team and goals 2️⃣ Supporting local contractor engagement 3️⃣ Designing incentive offerings 4️⃣ Developing community education and outreach 5️⃣ Launching and managing the program Learn more and take action in your community: https://bit.ly/3Zhorhl
