Go Electric! The Benefits of Home Electrification

Learn how to make your home safer, more energy efficient and more comfortable by adopting the latest generation of home appliances.
Adopting modern high-efficiency electric appliances in our homes improves indoor air quality, lowers utility bills, provides greater safety and comfort, and more climate resilience. You can greatly lower your home’s carbon emissions by installing efficient electric systems like heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. And thanks to improved technologies and new state and federal incentives, making your home efficient and all-electric is more affordable than ever!
