🚀 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

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

The Impulse Cooktop has won a Best of the Best Red Dot Design Award! We couldn't be more thrilled and honored for the recognition. Thanks to BLOND for their amazing design partnership on this achievement.

We had a great time at #SKS2024! Thanks Michael Wolf and The Spoon for the opportunity to discuss Impulse's vision for electrification and the future of the kitchen/home. Checkout the deep dive here: https://lnkd.in/eYa7c5MW And a recap from The Verge below:

We're in Seattle today for #SKS2024 with The Spoon! Catch Impulse CEO and founder Sam D'Amico on a panel about the impact of electrification in the kitchen. ⚡

Is America's love affair with gas cooking coming to an end? Maybe not, but for the first time it seems we're seeing significant traction for the electrification of our kitchens. A combination of compelling new products, local ordinances outlawing gas in new builds, and a growing recognition of the higher precision of induction cooking are beginning to chip away at the long-time dominance of gas. Looking forward to this panel led by Stacey Higginbotham with Shawn Stover, Sam D'Amico and Stacie Pacheco discussing the electrification trend next week at Smart Kitchen Summit 2024!

Come hear Impulse founder and CEO Sam D'Amico speak at NY-BEST's upcoming Capture the Energy Conference!

SF Climate Week was a (duck curve) smashing success! Our CEO, Sam D'Amico kicked off the festivities by speaking on "Your House, Not Your Car, is the Bigger Climate Culprit" presented by Quilt and Lowercarbon Capital. Then, we welcomed guests to the Impulse HQ for the very first Gigaton Salon. We are energized by the passion and programming the week brought to San Francisco! We loved seeing new faces, talking climate tech with the best in the industry, and showing the Impulse Cooktop in action. A huge thank you to our wonderful guest speakers and moderators, who came with insights and an excellent sense of humor. Check out the recap below, including a duck (curve) pinata smashing and satirical climate comedians.
