Join the Abode Energy Management (Abode) team, where you won’t ever want to leave. We’re fun, kind, passionate, progressive, and innovative. We are a fast-growing energy efficiency program implementor in the northeast, with a huge focus on electrification and heat pump adoption.
Summary/Objective
Abode is seeking to add a team member to an innovative program we run for the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources called Clean Heat Rhode Island, which aims to accelerate the adoption of residential heat pumps and other decarbonization solutions, through services including providing outreach, education, consultations, and technical assistance to contractors, homeowners, community advocates, and other stakeholders. This is a terrific opportunity for someone adept at translating technical jargon into actionable, useful advice to help realize the climate impacts of electrification.

Reporting to a Program Manager and working closely with Abode’s decarbonization team, this position will include some or all of the following responsibilities:
The Residential Decarbonization Advisor will help homeowners understand the capabilities and limitations of heat pump technology based on their home’s attributes and their goals for the systems. Consultations may range from helping people to understand the basic pro’s and con’s of systems all the way to helping them better understand sizing, design, and installation considerations to maximize their benefits. The Advisor will utilize Abode’s proprietary quote review tool to consult virtually with residential customers to compare and evaluate equipment options for adopting heat pumps.
The Residential Decarbonization Advisor will stay current with evolving standards for the recommended design and installation of heat pumps, providing fact-based, useful advice to homeowners and contractors.
As this new program evolves, the Advisor may be assigned other tasks ranging from performing evaluations such as Manual J’s and blower door tests to assist with appropriate sizing of heat pump systems, to providing training or outreach to partners and stakeholders. The Advisor will work with the rest of the Decarbonization team to help apply day-to-day learnings to improve the processes and tools used to achieve program results.
