Document a Truslow Ave home's electrification readiness
Before a heat pump or solar array can land on this home, someone must document what the panel and gas appliances actually are -- nobody on this block has that one-page picture yet. Standard: Building electrification-retrofit readiness survey — heat-pump readiness (existing heating/water fuel + system + envelope/ducting), electrical panel/service capacity observation (service amperage, spare breaker slots, obvious constraints — documentation only, no stamped load calc, no panel work), and insulation/air-sealing baseline; ASHRAE Level 1 practice + LBC Energy petal + NEC panel observation. Observation/documentation only, routes to a licensed electrician / mechanical contractor / energy pro; SDG 7.3/13.2. Proof: panel-label + nameplate photo set + completed readiness checklist + GPS Method (Electrification retrofit readiness survey (ASHRAE Level 1 practice + LBC Energy petal; NEC panel observation only — documentation, not a load calc), ~60-120 min): 1. Confirm the address + scope with the owner/occupant and arrange access to the mechanical room, electrical panel, and attic/crawl. Observe-and-document only — no panel or HVAC work. 2. Inventory existing space + water heating: fuel (gas/electric/oil/propane), system type + age, ducted vs. ductless suitability, and any combustion appliance present (for later decommission planning by a pro). 3. Photograph the electrical panel label: main service amperage, panel make, and count of used vs. spare breaker slots; note obvious constraints (full panel, subpanels, aluminum branch wiring) — as inputs for a licensed electrician's load calc, NOT a load calc yourself. 4. Record the envelope/insulation baseline: attic/wall/floor insulation presence + approximate R-level where visible, and obvious air-leakage points; use IR imaging if available. 5. Assemble a heat-pump readiness summary: what a conversion would likely require (panel capacity, dedicated circuit, ducting/ductless, envelope improvements) as a ranked readiness list — framed as inputs for licensed pros, not a design. 6. Enter photos, GPS/address, the inventory, panel observations, insulation baseline, and the ranked readiness list; sign. Route panel/service and combustion-decommission questions to licensed pros. Equipment: tablet/clipboard with the readiness checklist, camera, tape measure, flashlight (panel/attic/crawl), note on existing HVAC + water-heating fuel and age, thermal/IR camera (optional, insulation scope) Done when: Existing heating/water-heating fuel + system type + age inventoried with photos; Electrical panel service amperage + used/spare breaker slots photographed and recorded (observation, not a load calc); Insulation/air-sealing baseline recorded (R-levels where visible); Ranked heat-pump readiness list produced as inputs for licensed pros
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: Electrification retrofit readiness survey (ASHRAE Level 1 practice + LBC Energy petal; NEC panel observation only — documentation, not a load calc)
Bring
- tablet/clipboard with the readiness checklist
- camera
- tape measure
- flashlight (panel/attic/crawl)
- note on existing HVAC + water-heating fuel and age
- thermal/IR camera (optional, insulation scope)
Steps
- 1. Confirm the address + scope with the owner/occupant and arrange access to the mechanical room, electrical panel, and attic/crawl. Observe-and-document only — no panel or HVAC work.
- 2. Inventory existing space + water heating: fuel (gas/electric/oil/propane), system type + age, ducted vs. ductless suitability, and any combustion appliance present (for later decommission planning by a pro).
- 3. Photograph the electrical panel label: main service amperage, panel make, and count of used vs. spare breaker slots; note obvious constraints (full panel, subpanels, aluminum branch wiring) — as inputs for a licensed electrician's load calc, NOT a load calc yourself.
- 4. Record the envelope/insulation baseline: attic/wall/floor insulation presence + approximate R-level where visible, and obvious air-leakage points; use IR imaging if available.
- 5. Assemble a heat-pump readiness summary: what a conversion would likely require (panel capacity, dedicated circuit, ducting/ductless, envelope improvements) as a ranked readiness list — framed as inputs for licensed pros, not a design.
- 6. Enter photos, GPS/address, the inventory, panel observations, insulation baseline, and the ranked readiness list; sign. Route panel/service and combustion-decommission questions to licensed pros.
If it does not match the plan
- Any live-panel hazard, exposed conductors, scorching, or double-tapped/overheated breakers -> STOP: do not open or probe further; photograph the closed panel/label only and route to a licensed electrician (NEC).
- Combustion appliance suspected of backdrafting or improper venting -> flag for a licensed mechanical contractor; do not test-fire or decommission (CO risk).
- Panel appears full / service undersized for electrification -> flag as a service-upgrade input; the electrician performs the load calc and any upgrade, not the agent.
- Suspected asbestos (old duct/pipe insulation) or vermiculite in the attic -> do not disturb; flag and stop; route to a licensed abatement pro.
What counts as done
- Existing heating/water-heating fuel + system type + age inventoried with photos
- Electrical panel service amperage + used/spare breaker slots photographed and recorded (observation, not a load calc)
- Insulation/air-sealing baseline recorded (R-levels where visible)
- Ranked heat-pump readiness list produced as inputs for licensed pros
