#14: Electrification: The Smart Home Upgrade with Ari Matusiak, Alex Bazhinov, and Claire Broido Johnson

Earthlings 2.0 Podcast

The home of the future is electric and dynamic. In this episode, we look at the how-to of smart home electrification and the integrations coming to maximize the transformation from the ordinary home to a live-in power plant. And we explore how the US federal government is providing incentives for home upgrades like heat pumps and induction stoves,

With our guests, we examine how homes are moving to a future of generating their own power, storing it and selling it to their neighbor or back to the grid. This includes an exploration of how car owners can get paid to provide grid services using their batteries. And in this winter of skyrocketing oil and gas prices, we bring a pathway to significantly save on energy costs while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating the risk of blackouts, and more. Without leaving your front door.

• Ari Matusiak, co-founder and CEO, Rewiring America
• Alex Bazhinov, founder, president and COO, Lumin
