Pasadena Heat Pump Jam: Cooler Homes, Cooler Future

Join us for a Community Conversation on Home Comfort & Electrification!
Gather with neighbors, local organizers, and home electrification experts for an evening of informal discussions about staying comfortable in Pasadena while building healthier and more resilient homes.

Many homes in our area still depend on aging AC and furnace systems that struggle during heat waves, leading to high utility bills and costly maintenance. This event offers an opportunity to learn about alternatives, listen to real experiences from those who have already made the switch, and ask questions in a relaxed environment.

What we'll explore together:

• A Pasadena homeowner's experience transitioning to a heat pump system—what surprised her, what improved, and insights she wishes she had known earlier.
• Tips on recognizing when an older AC or furnace may be nearing the end of its life, preventing failures during extreme heat.
• How modern heat pumps operate in Pasadena’s climate, adapting to hot summer afternoons and cooler winter nights.
• Information on current rebates, incentives, and utility programs that can help make upgrades more financially accessible.
• An opportunity to see a working demo unit up close and gain a better understanding of what these systems actually look and sound like in a real home.
