Electrification retrofit readiness survey: heat-pump + panel + insulation (Seattle)

Fund it for $560. Proof lands onchain when it's done.

$560 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

What the work involves

A household at a single-family retrofit site in Seattle, WA wants to move off gas heat to a heat pump but has no idea whether the electrical panel, ducting, and insulation can support it; the missing readiness picture stalls the retrofit and invites oversized, overpriced quotes.

Proof
photo inventory (HVAC/water fuel+age, panel label, insulation) + GPS + panel amperage/spare-slot count + ranked heat-pump readiness list, all routed to licensed pros

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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

  • Photos of existing heating/water-heating systems with fuel + type + age
  • Photo of the electrical panel label with service amperage + used/spare breaker slots recorded (observation, not a load calc)
  • Insulation/air-sealing baseline (levels where visible, obvious leakage points)
  • GPS / address confirm
  • Ranked heat-pump readiness list framed as inputs for a licensed electrician / mechanical contractor

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The money and the proof

What is promised, and what is not.

Funding this work is a purchase or a vote, same act: you either want this done here, or you want the world to contain it. A vote is free and signed; funding starts at one cent and anything beyond the wage is recorded as a premium for the worker. Either way the money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1785979529362_wagzy5a","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
