You hit the nail on the head. I’ve spent the last couple years working full time on heat pumps, and even I forgot to switch to the right rate plan.

Most people will shut down and just stick with their gas furnace because it’s the path of least resistance. We need a blend of technology, policy and education to make this dead simple.

Hey! Yeah, I figured out how to turn off my content gate last night soon after their comment. Was never my intention to force people to put in their email who didn’t want to and I love seeing a healthy discussion around the content of the article and not just the headline. That gate is on by default on my newsletter platform so I didn’t think much of it when I originally submitted the link but totally understand why some folks were frustrated.

Hi there. Author of this post. The content gate is on by default for all of my newsletter content, but I figured out a way to turn it off. You should be able to read the full article now without putting in an email.

Thanks for the pointer! I added a title reflecting the byline since the original article title might make it less clear what it’s about. But I’ll edit it back to the original article title!

So great to have you as a customer! We're stoked we were able to help you ditch natural gas and decrease your carbon footprint.

Menlo park (and much of the peninsula) are such a no brainer for heat pumps. Like you mentioned, ~$5500 in incentives plus interest free financing can net to almost no out-of-pocket costs for most homeowners in San Mateo County. Many contractors aren't as familiar with heat pumps, and their quotes are often so expensive that it doesn't make economic sense to fuel switch. We are focused on offering affordable heat pump installations that have a positive ROI for homeowners.
