You’ll find no bigger advocate for electrification than me.
I have no doubt that electrification of households is the solution to a number of problems, specifically reducing carbon emissions and reducing energy bills.
But, there is one big problem with electrification: upfront cost.
Unfortunately a number of electrification steps require significant upfront cost. Heat pump hot water is the cheapest and most efficient way to heat water for your home, but, if you can’t afford a new unit, you might be stuck with an old unit that is expensive to run.
It can be a vicious cycle – you’re stuck with higher energy bills meaning you struggle to save for a new, more efficient electric appliance.
Powrhouse is committed to the cause and we want to give back.
Powrhouse donates 1 heat pump hot water unit for every 10 units we sell.
We know people are doing it tough out there. The cost of living crisis, rising interest rates and soaring energy bills – it’s hard. We want to help.
Powrhouse has made donations direct to people and is working with a few charities to source worthy recipients of free heat pumps. We want to donate heat pumps to those that need it most. Sadly, we’ve heard of some people that haven’t had hot water for 12 or even 18 months because they are unable to afford a new unit. These are exactly the type of people we want to help.
We look forward to announcing new charity partners as the initiative continues to expand. Equally, if you know anyone, charity groups or social housing groups that can connect Powrhouse to worthy recipients, please let us know.
