“Conner and Zero Homes helped me work through the process of evaluating and planning heat pump installations for my mountain home. They were patient and responsive to my needs and sincerely worked to improve the experience and outcomes.”
About Zero
Revolutionizing home upgrades
Zero was started in 2022 by Grant Gunnison, an MIT and NASA engineer who grew up working in his father's general contracting business, then took it over before founding Zero. He saw lived and breathed the problem consumers and contractor experience everyday. Confusing quotes, in-home sales pressure, and a rebate maze nobody wants to navigate.

How we're different
We do things differently.
Three choices that shape every Zero Homes project, from the first call to the final rebate filing.
- Virtual-firstNo in-home sales call required, our experience is digital. Complete the entire process over the phone, speaking with the same trusted Advisor the whole time.
- Independent design & vetted installZero Home's designers spec your system; using proprietary tools and specialized knowledge of heat pump tech. We personally vet the independent contractors install it. Two checks on quality, not one.
- Rebates handled, end to endWe file the rebate paperwork for every program you qualify for. You don't chase forms; you keep the savings.
Meet the Team
A team of can-kids.
:quality(85))
We're a team of can-kids: operators, designers, and engineers who took one look at the home-upgrade industry and decided it could be better. The industry is full of can't-kids: people who'll tell you a heat pump won't work in your climate or that a real quote takes weeks. We disagree, and we built Zero Homes to prove it.
We obsess over two groups of people. The homeowner who wants to get a quote without the high pressure in-home sales call, and the local contractor who's done with low-paying gig work and just wants to walk into a pre-scoped, pre-priced job. Get them both right and the rest takes care of itself.
We move fast. We say things plainly. We sweat the parts of the project most homeowners never see, because that's where the work actually happens. And every win, every install, every quote signed, every system that just works, is a team win.
What we believe
Five things we won't compromise on.
How we show up on every project, every call, every quote.
- Homeowner-firstEvery recommendation assumes you're going to live with the result for fifteen years, so we don't recommend anything we wouldn't put in our own home.
- Transparent pricingYour quote shows the equipment cost, the install cost, and the rebate offset, line by line. No bundled mystery total.
- No hard sell, everIf a heat pump isn't right for your home, we'll tell you on the first call, and we'll point you towards a better fit.
- Real expertise, not a scriptThe person designing your system has spent years working on homes like yours, not reading from a sales playbook over a headset.
- Climate, on purposeWe're in this because every electrified home is a few tons of carbon avoided, and that math is the whole reason Zero exists.
- We're here after the installThe relationship doesn't end when the truck leaves. If something feels off a month or a year later, call us first.
