Go Electric, Step off the Gas
BECT just went electric. We got an electric vehicle. It is a joy to drive and uses no petroleum. It feels great to ride smooth with no gears and not have any green house gasses out the exhaust pipe or my dollars flowing to Saudi Arabia.
You can get off of the natural gas at your house with BECT's help.

We've done about 40 load calculations and duct design for Bay Area architects and homeowners so far. Getting to know the size of what Bay Area homes actually need in a furnace, heat pump or air conditioner has been eye opening. Turns out that most all HVAC contractors install a 60K or 80K furnace into a house without much thought. If one actually crunches the numbers, you learn that that houses might only need 24 or 30 or 36 thousand BTUs of heat to keep warm and comfortable on the coldest day of the year.

What this means is that Bay Area homes are a perfect match for heat pumps. These are all electric devices that extract heat from seemingly cold air and move it into your home so you can be comfy. In the summer they "switch gears" to become air conditioners. These systems can be ducted like most US houses or can be "mini-split" system which are popular in throughout Europe and Asia.

The beauty of heat pumps is that they can run on electricity from solar panels or wind power, biofuels, hydropower or batteries. They don't require any carbon, fossil fuel energy. They are a proven technology, used world-wide. You can make the switch and be part of the global climate change solution.

Heat pumps along with air sealing, high levels of insulation and ventilation can make your house both highlyt comfortable with great air quality while enjoying low energy bills. You can be solving the global climate change problem from the comfort of your home.

Give BECT a call, we can help you get off of carbon energy and be part of the solution.
