Heat Pump Review is a podcast about all things heat pumps. Our goal is to discuss heat pumps in a way that is accessible to people who are curious about the technology and how it can be best developed and deployed as the world transitions from inefficiently burning fossil fuels to efficiently heating and cooling our homes, our businesses, heating our water, cooling our foods and even greening our industrial processes with an ever-improving energy grid.

Before millions of homes upgrade to a new heat pump – especially homes in low income and disadvantaged communities – multiple home health issues will need to be addressed first. For example, it would be best practice to make sure a home is properly insulated and air sealed so that their new heat pump can work most efficiently, yet if there's mold in the attic and a roof leak causing the mold, those two things need to be taken care of before the insulating and air sealing can be done, and before the insulation is upgraded.
On Episode 2 of the Heat Pump Review Podcast, we talk to Ryan Trauley of Civic Works' Energy Programs and Center for Sustainable Careers. Civic Works is a 30 year old, Baltimore-based non-profit on the front lines of the energy transition. They work with low income homes, helping them improve their home's safety and efficiency, and helping them upgrade appliances and access grant and incentive funds to do so. They also have an important career training initiative to help people transition into solar, roofing, and other jobs critical for the energy transition.
