Electrifying homes is one of the best steps we can take to battle climate change. But there’s a hidden cost to today’s electric heat pumps, water heaters, and cooktops: most older homes will trip their breakers with the new leap in peak usage. Elias Pergantis has demonstrated a simple control technique that can integrate new electric appliances into old homes, without requiring expensive upgrades to their breaker boxes.
