Mammoth Climate

Excited to announce a new partnership with Jouleia that will give thousands of employees on Mammoth Climate the tools to calculate the cost and emissions savings of installing a #heatpump at home!

Seeing as the benefits of heat pumps are still not universally understood, this new Climate Challenge on our platform will help to bridge that learning gap. Thanks to the Jouleia team for a fantastic partnership in the spirit of climate action!
