Wondering if a heat pump actually pays off? New research from RMI examined all 50 states and found that home electrification pays off in the long term, even without federal tax credits.

A few findings that stood out to us: heat pumps can save up to $1,100 a year for homes switching off fuels like propane or oil, and pairing them with solar adds even more. Meanwhile, electricity prices are up 26% in five years, which makes efficient equipment more valuable every year.

In Greece, solar powers heat pumps on nearly every rooftop, and it works because the climate is mild and the sun shines year-round.

California is trickier. Solar peaks at midday, but homes need heat at night, when electricity costs the most.
Harvest's thermal battery bridges that gap: it charges on midday sun and delivers heat and hot water through the night.

Here's how it works: https://www.harvest-thermal.com/news/greek-homes-run-on-solar-and-heat-pumps-heres-what-it-takes-to-do-the-same-in-california

Greece pairs solar with heat pumps effortlessly. Harvest brings the same vision to California, with thermal storage that turns midday solar into nighttime heat.

Still on the fence about switching from gas? The numbers are worth a look.

A real-world study found that air-source heat pumps operate at 340% efficiency — meaning that for every unit of energy put in, 3.4 units come out as heat. That's more than four times the efficiency of a typical gas boiler.

Harvest takes it further by pairing a high-efficiency heat pump with a thermal battery that stores energy when electricity is cheapest. The result: up to 90% fewer emissions than gas and up to 30% lower monthly energy bills.

Sacramento homeowners — SMUD just expanded its heat pump rebates, and the timing is worth knowing about.

You can now get up to $3,000 back on a heat pump HVAC system and up to $4,000 on a heat pump water heater. If you're doing both, that's up to $7,000 total — and yes, they stack.

Harvest installs heating, cooling, and hot water as a single system, so you don't have to coordinate multiple contractors. The system also stores energy during cheaper off-peak hours, which is why most customers see 20–40% lower monthly heating and hot water costs.

If you've been on the fence about going electric, this is a good moment to revisit the math.

SMUD now offers up to $3,000 for heat pump HVAC and $4,000 for heat pump water heaters. Harvest customers in the SMUD service area can stack these rebates with a whole-home installation - heating, cooling, and hot water in one.

Most homeowners replace their water heater when it breaks. By then, the options are limited, and the rebates may be gone. The Bay Area's gas appliance deadline is 2027. If your water heater or furnace is over 10 years old, now is a good time to plan ahead and access the rebates available to you.

Harvest replaces your furnace and water heater entirely, delivering whole-home heating, cooling, and hot water through your existing setup. It automatically shifts energy use to the cheapest times of day, cutting heating bills by up to 40%.

The US has no national plan for home decarbonization. Every 8 seconds, another home gets locked into gas heating for the next 20 years.

The Bay Area is different. The deadline is already set. Starting in 2027, you won't be able to replace a broken gas water heater with another gas model. Furnaces follow in 2029.

Find out what that means for your home: http://bit.ly/4oKDzPt

The Bay Area is phasing out gas water heaters by 2027 and furnaces by 2029. Learn how Harvest helps homeowners get ahead of the deadline with whole-home electrification, automatic bill savings, and federal tax credits built into a simple monthly lease.

Our Co-founder, Dr. Jane Melia, was featured on Amply Energy's The Heat Pump Podcast to map out the next evolution of home heating, cooling, and hot water. 🚀

Traditional HVAC systems all do the same thing: they draw expensive grid power exactly when rates are highest.

Harvest is different. It’s a unified system that combines high-efficiency heat pumps with smart thermal storage - slashing your heating bills, lowering your carbon footprint, and increasing your comfort.
