Definitely. The first thing is suggest is replacing old gas furnaces with heat pumps. No exotic tech needed, just bigger scale to reduce upfront prices.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoAgree! And these are good paying trades jobs that can’t be outsourced. Heat pumps, insulation, houses that’ll pass a blower door test ~4 or lower aren’t sexy but they’re the biggest bang for each buck spent.
- danans 6y agoThe big challenge is cost effectively retrofitting existing homes for greater efficiency in the general direction of net zero or passive house. I'm trying to do it now and ouch it's pricey.
