Growing Climate-Tech Company Elephant Energy Now Upgrading Homes in Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County With Climate-Friendly, Energy-Efficient Solutions

LOS ANGELES, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- , a growing climate-tech company on a mission to help homeowners reduce their dependence on fossil fuels by electrifying millions of homes, announced today its expansion into Southern California. Headquartered in Colorado, Elephant Energy has already electrified more than 1,200 homes in the Greater Denver and Boston areas. The company will now be helping Los Angeles and San Bernardino County area homeowners upgrade to energy-efficient solutions, debuting initially in and around North East Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley area in cities such as Pasadena, Arcadia, Alhambra, Pomona, Ontario, Claremont and more. This expansion comes in the wake of growing concerns about the impact of climate change in California, as well as the establishment of the , which aims to create an equitable pathway to carbon-free homes by 2045 and install six million heat pumps by 2030.

"Home electrification not only utilizes superior technology, it is one of the most important levers that we have to tackle climate change; buildings actually account for almost 40% of our total global emissions, so if you're a homeowner, it's the most important thing you can do to make an impact," says DR Richardson, co-founder of Elephant Energy. "The state of California has some big climate goals and is providing great financial incentives for homeowners to help them meet these goals, so it's an ideal time to consider going electric."

Founded by climate tech veterans Richardson and Josh Lake in 2021, Elephant Energy helps homeowners reduce their carbon emissions and save money on HVAC upgrades by assisting them in the transition to modern, climate-friendly electric technologies such as heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and induction stoves. Elephant Energy tackles one of the biggest barriers to home electrification: complexity. The company's team of experts takes the friction and often confusing guesswork out of the home electrification process by handling everything from assessments to installation to equipment servicing and rebate procurement, making the entire customer experience much easier. In conjunction with this mission and its expansion into California, Elephant Energy is also launching a unique digital platform that allows homeowners to research and design heating and cooling installations for their homes, all online. The platform leverages geographical data, building science expertise, and proprietary sizing technology to deliver a custom recommendation to homeowners.

The devastating Los Angeles fires in January have not only put climate change concerns in the spotlight but have also brought more serious attention to pollutant levels in the air and inside the home. EPA studies show that pollutant levels inside homes and buildings can be 2-5 times higher than outside, and the air quality inside our homes is further compromised by gas-burning appliances. Electric appliances reduce air pollution inside the home and even help alleviate fire risk, as they are less combustible.

"Electrification is inevitable: it's efficient, more comfortable, more sustainable, and healthier," said Richardson. "Establishing a presence in Los Angeles was a natural next step for our team. This city has seen firsthand the devastating impact of climate change, and we know LA residents are actively looking for ways to make their homes and lives safer and more climate-friendly. There is a clear demand here, and Elephant wants to make the process less complex and more accessible for LA homeowners."
