Understanding your customers is an important part of designing effective electrification programs and services. To help you engage with your customers and understand the market for electrification technologies in your service territory, E Source designed a survey to gather information on this topic from residential customers. We focus primarily on three technologies: heat-pump water heaters, heat pumps for home heating and cooling, and induction cooktops.
Topics covered in the 2024 study include:
- Familiarity and awareness of electrification technologies
- Motivators for owning electric appliances and equipment
- Purchase behavior for home appliances and equipment
- Familiarity and use of federal incentives for electrification technologies

Methodology
We recruit participants using a purchased sample of US and Canadian residential households from global online market research firm Dynata. We only sample respondents who own their home. We set quotas for age, gender, income, and geographical location. And we apply postfieldwork weighting on the sample to reflect population norms.
