I pledge to replace my fossil-fuel powered appliances with electric ones to clean our air and cool our climate.
Electrifying your home is all about transitioning from fossil-fuel powered appliances to electric ones. For example, replacing a gas furnace with an electric heat pump. With more clean energy - like solar and wind - powering the grid everyday, electric appliances will become even more effective tools for mitigating climate change over time.
So, why should I go electric if I don't use clean energy at home?
The benefits of electrifying your home are immediate, whether you have a clean energy source or not. Here are some big ways that going electric can make a huge and immediate impact:
A typical US household can cut its heating-related climate pollution by 45-72% by swapping out a gas-fired furnace for an efficient, all-electric heat pump
10% of our nation’s annual greenhouse gas emissions come from residential buildings. By going electric, we can reduce our carbon footprint significantly!
13% of all childhood asthma cases in the United States are linked to gas stove usage. Switching to electric appliances can ensure a healthier home for your family!
Federal tax credits are available now to reduce related costs. And $14,000 worth of point-of-sale rebates will soon be available for low and moderate income homeowners and renters who switch to electric. But, these savings won’t be around forever!
