Heat pumps

Replace gas heat with the most
efficient heating system available.

Heat pumps move heat rather than create it — making them 2–4x more efficient than gas furnaces. Combined with solar, you heat and cool your home on sunlight.

Heat pump water heaters

Cut your water heating
bill by 70%.

A heat pump water heater uses the same technology as a heat pump to move heat rather than generate it — making it 3–4× more efficient than a standard electric water heater. The average household saves $450/year. Federal HEAR rebates cover up to $1,750 of the cost.

Section 30C EV charger credit — expires June 30, 2026

The Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit provides 30% of charger installation cost up to $1,000 for qualifying addresses. Restricted to rural and low-income census tracts. Expires June 30, 2026.

Every charger needs
a licensed electrician.

What installation involves

A dedicated 240V circuit from your electrical panel to the charger location. Most homes can accommodate this. Typical cost: $200–$800 depending on panel proximity.

What to ask your electrician

Can my panel support a 40–50A circuit? Is my panel full or does it need an upgrade? Where is the best location for the charger relative to where I park?
