Major success from the Electric Home Show - 3 months before it even happens - CleanTechnica

The event aims to address a key market challenge: contractors often push traditional fossil fuel systems like gas water heaters because they are more familiar with them, limiting the adoption of efficient electric technologies such as heat pump water heaters.
