In 2022, California announced that it wanted to install 6 million heat pumps by 2030. So far, it’s only installed about 2.3 million, which means to make that goal, it would need to average about 2,000 installs per day for the next five years. Hitting that target could be difficult considering a typical mini split can take around a day to install and cost around $4,000 to $6,000 per zone, according to EnergySage.
“We’ve got to do something different,” Mary-Ann Rau, co-founder and CEO of Merino Energy, told TechCrunch.
