The article says “of the roughly 1 million units of HVAC equipment sold annually in California, just one in five are heat pumps”.

Do you know who collects such data? Is there regular reporting of this figure?

I suspect that they use data collected by AHRI.

Thanks. I do follow that report but it doesn’t break out the California portion. But, point taken; I should probably contact them.

Alternatively, they might monitor all of the permits somehow, but otherwise I don't know how they could do it. I'm also confident that I don't know how many different ways there might be to monitor that kind of thing.

They responded quickly. They do not provide a California breakdown.

Permits are problematic. They aren’t coded well enough to provide high accuracy, although companies like https://shovel.ai are trying.

I wonder if electric utilities can tell how and when their customers switch from furnaces to heat pumps and keep track of that?
