🏠 QuitCarbon Guides Homeowners in a ‘No Compromises’ Home Electrification Process

This week is Heat Pump Week in California — a statewide push to raise awareness and adoption of heat pumps as part of the clean energy transition. But at QuitCarbon, the San Francisco company demystifying home electrification to make going fossil-fuel-free at home more accessible and affordable, every week is Heat Pump Week.

We burn a lot of fossil fuels in our homes. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Switching to electric appliances in your home, such as heat pumps and induction stoves, is often cheaper and more efficient than their carbon-emitting counterparts. “There really isn’t a tradeoff,” said Cooper Marcus, QuitCarbon CEO and “Chief Quiter.”

Functioning as a guide throughout the home electrification process, QuitCarbon bridges the gap between homeowners and the web of incentives, subsidies, nonprofits and contractors who will get the job done at the lowest possible cost. What’s more? QuitCarbon’s services are free.

“The last thing you need when you’re starting to think about making a big change like getting off of gas in your home is a big bill just so you can think about it,” Cooper said. That’s exactly the situation he found himself in during his own home remodel, which sparked the idea for QuitCarbon.

QuitCarbon started in San Francisco and has steadily expanded. Now, they’re helping homeowners, mostly in single-family, owner-occupied units, across California get off fossil fuels. Later this year, they’ll offer their services nationwide, Cooper said.

Their small, passionate team has already helped thousands of families make the switch.

“Sooner or later, everyone’s going to have to deal with their appliances and their energy bills,” Cooper said. “Planning and becoming educated about your family’s clean energy journey is something you might as well start today.”
