Electrification is the big residential energy story of this decade. Going from gas to all-electric — heat pump HVAC, heat pump water heater, induction range, EV — saves money over the long run, dramatically reduces home carbon emissions, and ties into California's grid + incentive structure that increasingly favors electric.
We do the electrical side. We don't sell heat pumps or water heaters — that's your HVAC contractor or plumber's call. We size the circuits, run the wire, install the breakers, handle the panel-capacity check, pull the permits, and coordinate with your other contractors. The two halves of a heat pump install (the electrical side from us + the HVAC side from your installer) work better when they're coordinated from day one.
Most electrification projects start with the same conversation: can my panel handle the new loads? Often the answer is no, and the panel upgrade is sequenced first. Sometimes the answer is "yes, but tight" — in which case we recommend upsizing now to avoid panel-creeping later as you electrify one appliance at a time.
The federal tax credit picture changed at the end of 2025. Section 25D (the 30% solar and battery credit) expired December 31, 2025 — and Section 25C, the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit covering heat pumps and a supporting panel upgrade, ended on the same date. There is no federal residential energy credit for 2026 work. What remains is state and utility money: PG&E and Central Coast Community Energy rebates and GoGreen Home financing, which is unaffected. SGIP, the state battery rebate, closed its general budgets to new applications at the end of 2025; in PG&E territory only an income-qualified waitlist remains.
We don't publish install prices for electrification work — they vary too much by home. The free consultation gets you the real number for your specific home, including the credit math.
