How does QuitCarbon Demonstrate Their Skills and Commitments?

• We’ve developed a special presentation for climate-focused non-profits, community groups, and similar organizations - which we’ve presented many times, to rave reviews! Our first-ever presentation was recorded and shared by Climate Reality Bay Area.
• We won a Phase 1 prize in the US Department of Energy’s (DoE) Equitable and Affordable Solutions to Electrification (EAS-E) program - and are now collaborating closely with another one of the winners (Dayton Energy Collaborative, in Dayton, Ohio), plus numerous other non-profits across the USA, to bring affordable electrification and weatherization to their low-to-moderate income residents.
• QuitCarbon entered the DoE Buildings UP prize program with seven different teams, all of them on the equity track. The proposals were all similar in that we intend to utilize QuitCarbon's software platform and business process to make electrification more accessible and affordable for low-to-moderate income homeowners and small multifamily building owners.
  • QuitCarbon’s proposal with the City and County of San Francisco’s Environment Department (SF Environment) was selected as a Phase 1 winner in what turned out to be a very competitive program, with ~350 entrants for 45 winning slots. SF Environment and QuitCarbon are now collaborating with two community-based nonprofits (Rising Sun Center for Opportunity and PODER) to electrify 200 water heaters in 200 days, in low-moderate income neighborhoods in San Francisco.
• QuitCarbon continues to grow quickly - we are helping nearly 2,000 homeowners across California, with nearly 700 homes having received our free Electrification Roadmaps, and those homes have started nearly 200 electrification upgrade projects via our contractor referral and bid benchmarking service (heat pump water heaters, HVAC heat pumps, EV chargers, induction stoves, and more).
• QuitCarbon clients love our free service, as evidenced by our high NPS score of 64 (see benchmarks for NPS scores across numerous industries). We pay close attention to all the feedback we receive, and work hard to ensure that our score increases as we grow.
• We recently implemented a unique program to help renters in small multifamily buildings work with their landlords to affordably electrify.
• We’ve presented a 20-min info session on home electrification to more than 30 non-profit and community groups, to consistently glowing reviews!
• QuitCarbon has partnered with numerous non-profits, community groups, local governments, and others, including:
  • Rising Sun Center for Opportunity
  • Rotary International - Climate Action Team
  • Climate Reality Project - multiple local chapters
  • Village Movement California - San Francisco chapter
  • Resilient Neighborhoods
  • Town of Los Altos Hills
  • Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour
  • Marin Green Home Tour
  • Physicians for Social Responsibility - SF Bay chapter
  • Electric Home Tour - SF Bay Area
  • Active member of the Building Decarbonization Coalition, the San Diego Building Electrification Coalition, and many similar groups.
• QuitCarbon has received multiple validations for our unique approach, including:
  • Selected for the 2023 cohort of IMPEL, a US Department of Energy tech-to-market program.
  • Selected for the 2023 cohort of the US Green Building Council Los Angeles (USGBC-LA) Net Zero Accelerator program that supports innovators in decarbonizing the built environment.
  • Selected to join the Implementation Working Group for the (USA’s first!) proposed rule to ban the sale of fossil gas furnaces and water heaters in the San Francisco Bay Area.
  • Member of the US Department of Energy Better - Buildings Residential Network.
