Going electric benefits residents and owners alike

From improving safety and comfort to enhancing air quality, replacing gas equipment with electric options offers a range of benefits for residents and property owners.

Electrification upgrades can help you:

Lower maintenance costs

Electric appliances often have fewer moving parts and can require less maintenance compared to gas-powered systems.

Improve indoor air quality

By replacing gas appliances, electrification helps reduce indoor air pollution, leading to healthier living environments.

Increase safety

Eliminating gas appliances reduces the risk of gas leaks, fires, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Enhance comfort

Electric HVAC systems provide consistent temperature control. Additionally, electric appliances often operate more quietly than traditional gas systems, contributing to a more peaceful living environment.

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Reducing gas use supports California’s clean energy goals.

Save on energy costs

Electric technologies often perform more efficiently than traditional gas-powered systems.

Electrification incentives vary by region

Some upgrades are only eligible for incentives in certain regions of California. Be sure to check with our team about specific measures of interest to see if they are available in your area. We’re here to help you make the most of these opportunities!
