The future is electric, and your home will be at the center of it.
Heating, cooling and hot water will be supplied by heat pumps. You’ll cook with electricity too, eliminating unhealthy combustion emissions. Your vehicle will plug into a home charging port rather than filling up at a gas station. The electricity to power everything in the home will come from a 100% carbon-free grid, if not from solar panels on your roof.
Your home will be climate-friendlier, healthier and cheaper to operate.
Our friends at CORE have a great Path to Zero page that explains home electrification.

Our energy coaches will help you get the most bang for your bucks!
Maybe you’re ready to go full net-zero now – talk to us first! We can help you plan the transition, tap into funding and find contractors.
Maybe you’re thinking ahead and wondering if you should replace your aging water heater or furnace with a heat-pump system – talk to us about your options!
Or maybe going electric seems totally out of reach right now – that’s OK! But talk to us about home weatherization, which is usually the most cost-effective measure and therefore the best place to start anyway. (Plus, there’s a ton of financial aid available for it.)
Whatever your situation, we’re here to help!
