You shut off your gas line. Now, let’s do the whole block.

Ready to get frustrated? Hold on to your heat pumps: gas companies spend billions of dollars a year just maintaining old gas lines. Where do those billions come from? Your gas bills, of course - or, if you don’t have gas, they might come out of the taxes you pay. 

Even when they’re perfectly maintained, gas lines are, predictably, terrible to have around during an earthquake.  And regardless of whether they’re old or new, maintaining an outmoded infrastructure that contributes to poor health globally (and inside your house) is one of those head-scratchers: “There must be a better way,” you think to yourself.

And, thankfully, there is. It’s called California Senate Bill 1221 - for a deeper dive, Jeff St. John at Canary Media has neatly summarized the bill, which was signed into law by Governor Newsom on September 26th.

SB1221 will enable the California Public Utilities Commission to build and deploy 30 pilot projects to completely electrify entire neighborhoods. Instead of going into a neighborhood and spending some of those frustrating billions upgrading gas, the bill fast-forwards a much better option: electrifying those neighborhoods instead.

They call it “zonal decarbonization.” We call it the future - and we’re very much looking forward to it. Harvest is now the cheapest home heat, hot water, and A/C - not just to install, but also cheaper on monthly bills. So, electrifiers small and large, from homeowners to CPUC - come say hi! We make it easy on contractors and homeowners to save money to begin with, and then every month after that.

Heat pumps are just so much more fun with heat batteries.
