Want to know the coolest thing about our homes?

Like, literally?

What’s the carbon footprint equivalent of 10,000 steps a day?

A thermostat can range from pretty smart (letting you adjust your home temp from an app) to really smart (learning your habits and routines to save you electricity and money).

But are they worth the expense?

It’s easy to become numb. But there are solutions at hand, and the way we build homes is a vital one. 

Water heaters account for about 18 percent of the nation’s household energy consumption.

Unless we’re talking about heat pump water heaters.

The zero-waste movement crosses industries and manufacturers, but is gaining traction among homebuilders and contractors looking to cut their carbon footprints and create homes that contribute to and thrive in a more sustainable future. The kind of future (and homes) we all want to live in.

The homebuilding supply chain too often bogs you down with delays, paperwork, financial terms, waste, inefficiency, and markups.

Here’s how we eliminate the middleman.

Last year, Americans bought more heat pumps than gas furnaces for the first time. The emerging home comfort solution shows big potential for changing how Americans heat and cool their homes.

Plus, heat pumps let you save a big pile of cash.

If you’re shopping for a natural gas stove, stop. Like, right now.

The Inflation Reduction Act could cut up to $840 off the cost of an induction cooktop.

We read the news. 

We feel the rain.

And the heat. 

Indeed, some days the world is too much with us. 

But most days we carry on problem-solving. It’s the human thing to do. 

Besides, there are so many reasons for optimism.
