Impulse

🚀 Revolutionizing Cooking and Clean Energy: The Future of Induction At Impulse, we're thrilled to announce the groundbreaking launch of our newest innovation: a sleek cooktop that not only transforms the cooking experience but also contributes to a cleaner, more efficient energy landscape. 🔍 The Gas vs. Induction Dilemma Gas stoves have long been a staple in kitchens, but recent studies highlight the environmental and health concerns associated with their use. Recognizing the need for a change, the Impulse team set out to create an induction stove that not only outperforms gas in terms of efficiency but also addresses common reservations about making the switch. 🌐 The Impulse Advantage: Beyond Your Everyday Induction The Impulse Cooktop is not just a stove; it's redefining what you can expect from your home appliances. Here's how it stands out: - Powerful Performance: With a built-in battery, our induction stove can boil water in under 40 seconds, outshining traditional gas stoves by minutes! - Precision Cooking: Each burner can be adjusted to a specific temperature, offering a level of control that gas stoves can't match. Sensors ensure automatic temperature adjustments during cooking, providing a seamless and precise experience. - User-Friendly Design: Say goodbye to touchscreens – our custom Cooktop features intuitive knobs for temperature control. The glow ring indicator replaces the visual cue of a gas flame, making the cooking process both familiar and futuristic. - Seamless Energy Storage: The inclusion of a battery not only ensures uninterrupted cooking during power outages but also simplifies installation. This battery can double as extra power storage, contributing to grid stability and potentially serving as a virtual power plant when connected with other battery-equipped devices. ⚡ Impulse's Vision for a Sustainable Future As the demand for electricity rises, the storage potential of our stove becomes a game-changer. We envision a future where battery-integrated appliances are widespread, collectively adding substantial energy storage to the grid. This not only benefits consumers but also contributes to a more resilient and efficient energy infrastructure. 🌍 Join Us on the Journey to Sustainable Living The Impulse Cooktop is now available for deposits, set to ship later this year. It competes with high-end ranges and is eligible for almost 50% in discounts through government tax credits and local rebates. Our commitment to building the best possible appliances extends beyond performance – it's about creating a sustainable future. Thanks to Fast Company for coming with us on this journey! https://lnkd.in/dMQq28nZ

LA's severe weather alerts are another moment in a summer defined by its heat waves. In fact, American's electricity bills have gone up 15.5% since last year. You may have even gotten asked by your electricity provider to reduce your use of air conditioning on the hottest days. Enter: Demand Response Programs. Not all demand response programs are built the same, but they all have the same goal: to reduce energy use during periods of especially high demand. While AC in summer is a big part of demand response, it’s about more than just air conditioning—it applies to all of your appliances. And you may, in some cases, want to take advantage of savings without having to stop cooking or cleaning. In these cases, there is an alternative: appliances with integrated batteries. We've been thinking a lot about how we make demand response (and grid flexibility/stability) less dependent on human behavior change through tech enablement. Read on to learn more about our approach and tell us what you think below! https://lnkd.in/eD9mk5eY

Did you know... you could probably be paying less on your utility bill just by using your appliances at a different time of day. How? Time-of-Use (TOU) billing. It’s a unique kind of pricing plan, offered by most of the big energy utilities, that charges you more or less based on when you use electricity: more during peak hours (usually early evening) and less during off-peak hours (other times of day). How much could you save? Here’s some quick math with PG&E’s pricing. • Imagine you use 10,500kWh per year (the American average).  • Say that 70% of your energy usage is below the baseline allocation (less expensive) and 30% is above the baseline allocation (more expensive). Here’s what your normal v. TOU bills might look like: Fixed-rate billing: ~$4,800 per year Time-of-use billing: ~$4,300 per year Historically, this has been unfortunate for anyone who can’t just shift their life around to use electricity during off-peak hours. But batteries are changing that — here’s how: https://lnkd.in/eeGdaGCX

One thing most people don’t know: the government will literally pay you to install electric appliances in your house (like induction stoves). It’s a win-win: you get a better appliance, *and* you don’t have to pay as much for it. The problem? Installing electric appliances has historically been a serious project. The good news? New kinds of appliances let you just plug into your existing outlets. Learn more about the incentives for electrifying — and how to make it easier than ever: https://lnkd.in/eAY5J7V9
