QuitCarbon + Palo Alto: Helping Residents Switch to Clean Energy

  QuitCarbon Team  ·  1 minute read

The City of Palo Alto has been at the forefront of sustainability, continually exploring new ways to help residents transition to clean energy. Recently, the city rolled out two innovative programs to accelerate home electrification—and QuitCarbon is integral to both.

As a trusted partner of the City, QuitCarbon was selected to provide cutting-edge digital and live assistance to residents looking to electrify their homes.

1. Electrification Expert Program: Personalized Help for Your Home

The Electrification Expert Program connects Palo Alto homeowners with expert guidance on making the switch to all-electric appliances. Through this program, residents can take advantage of QuitCarbon’s modern, digital-first platform to receive:

  • Home assessments to identify the best electrification opportunities
  • Customized analysis of energy savings and rebates
  • Live expert guidance to answer questions and plan next steps

QuitCarbon makes the process simple, whether you’re just starting to explore electrification or ready to move forward with a project. Our goal is to remove the guesswork and help homeowners make informed, confident decisions.

2. Emergency Heat Pump Water Heater Program

When a water heater fails, most homeowners feel pressured to replace it as quickly as possible—which often means installing another gas-powered unit. Palo Alto’s Emergency Heat Pump Water Heater Program offers a better solution: fast, hassle-free replacement with an efficient, all-electric heat pump water heater.

QuitCarbon played a key role in designing and refining this program. Our real-world expertise helped shape a system that delivers:

  • Fast response times for urgent replacements
  • Seamless coordination with a local contractor to simplify installation
  • Cost savings through instant rebates handled by the City 

The result? A first-of-its-kind program that eliminates the common barriers to heat pump adoption—so Palo Alto residents can upgrade without stress.
