🏡 Residential heating and cooling are the #1 source of emissions for most municipalities, and many have declared climate emergencies. The solution lies in empowering homeowners to swap fossil fuel powered appliances for superior, clean electric alternatives. The issue is that there is a massive homeowner education gap - and getting equipment properly installed remains way harder than it should be.
