EH! has started an Electrification Working Group!
If you are in the process of electrifying your home and yard or your mode of transportation, or have experience with heat pumps, electric/battery operated yard tools, etc., and would like to share your knowledge with others, please get in touch at info@environmenthaliburton.org
We envision this as a group of up to 10 people. We plan to meet at each others' homes for a couple of hours once a month or so, to share best practices and resources, such as who to talk with, where to source specialized technology and contractors, grants and loans and how to navigate the application process. Our hope is to spread the word so that others are inspired to do the same, and to make the process easier over time.
Here is some info on heat pumps that may be of help: https://www.iea.org/reports/the-future-of-heat-pumps/how-a-heat-pump-works
And another interesting article about heat pumps: https://climateinstitute.ca/reports/heat-pumps-canada/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nsept23
"The world is transitioning to an all-electric future, and over the next twenty years, we will all be on a journey to electrify everything-our homes, our cars, and our businesses. Electrification is now acknowledged as being essential for the world to get to zero emissions in the fastest possible time. And, that's because electrification is now the cheapest way to run our homes and businesses, and how we can have the biggest and fastest impact on climate this decade. Electrifying everything means ditching gas stoves, water heaters, and space heaters, gas cars, diesel trucks and coal fired power stations, etc. and replacing them with induction stoves, electric cars, trucks and buses, heat pumps, solar panels, wind turbines and storage."
