Fight Forest Fires with Heat Pumps

Nothing quite drives home the horrors of climate change like forest fires and wildfire smoke. We living on the West Coast have had a couple more years to experience the nightmare that the Midwest, East Coast, and Europe are experiencing this year.

Heat pumps are a key technology that help solve climate change, which is causing these never-before-seen wildfires and their life-quality-compromising smoke. Switch out your gas furnace and you save 4 to 8 tons of heat-trapping, wildfire-causing CO2 a year. Switch out your water heater and you save another one to two. Electrify your transportation and you are keeping another 5+ tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere. Put solar panels on your house or buy community solar and you’re ensuring that all of your electric appliances are as clean as possible.
