Description:
As more California homes are electrified, heat pump installers will have to navigate electrical panel challenges such as condition, capacity, fitment, and supply chains. With panel and service upgrades being expensive and complex, it will be important to understand all options for running new circuits. In this class you will learn how to carry out visual assessments and make electrical load calculations, discuss real-world electrical panel scenarios and see examples of different solutions to ‘make it work’.
Learning Outcomes:
As a result of attending this class, participants will be able to:
- Explain why a panel with all circuits occupied doesn’t necessarily mean it is at full capacity
- Recognize when upgrading a home’s electrical capacity might not be the most beneficial option
- Describe multiple solutions to adding new circuits in a panel that has no remaining physical space
Target Audience:

- Contractors
- General
