Home Electrification

Gas-burning stoves, furnaces, and dryers are major sources of indoor air pollution within homes. Pollutants including nitrous oxides and carbon monoxide are released by these appliances​. Homes with gas-burning stoves have nitrous oxide levels 50 to 400% higher than homes with electric stoves. These pollutants can cause levels of indoor air pollution to well exceed the stringent EPA standards for outdoor air quality. Indoor air quality is of significant importance to all households, especially those with children, as gas-related pollutants can result in including higher rates of asthma, learning deficits, and allergies.​​

HVAC (heating and cooling systems) are historically the hardest to convert off fossil fuels, but pack the biggest punch in regards to climate and comfort. The A²ZERO Heat Pump Concierge platform reduces this complexity, enabling users to input some information about their home and obtain instant estimates for various heat pump system designs. The estimates include up-front costs and any weatherization or upgrades that would be needed, impact on monthly bills, and all rebates and incentives applicable to the project. For those interested in moving forward, an on-site home assessment is conducted with a Pearl Energy Advisor to confirm the project specifications and lock in pricing, followed by direct oversight of installation.
