Vespa emphasized the impact of updated building codes on the market, noting that California's shift towards electrifying homes post the 2022 codes has significantly increased the share of all-electric new homes.
Vespa's comments reflect the California Energy Commission's ambition to push forward the electrification of homes amid opposition from manufacturers concerned about system requirements and building designs.
The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute expressed strong concerns regarding the practicality of proposed HVAC heat pump requirements for varying building types, citing impracticalities for designers and owners.
California aims for carbon neutrality by 2045 alongside a target to install 6 million heat pumps by 2030, with recent progress showing the state is 25% towards its goal.
