Electrify Montrose promotes the reduction of fossil fuels as a source of energy in our lives by encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles, appliances, and home utilities to improve air quality and create a healthy and efficient community.
About Us
We are a group of Montrose City and County residents and small business owners with a shared passion for green alternatives to energy production such as solar and geothermal. We're not hippies—well, some of us are—we are simply interested in improving our home and community environments by electrifying our homes and vehicles.
Atlasta Solar Center is a valuable, trusted partner and, without them, our mission could not succeed.
1. Driving an all-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle which will cut down on emissions
2. Clean energy sources that are safer, healthier, and more efficient
3. A heat pump water heater in your laundry room
4. A kitchen with all Energy-Star appliances
5. Adding insulation to help save money on your energy bills.
6. A heat pump clothes dryer that uses only half the energy of a conventional clothes dryer
7. A much more efficient heat pump to heat and cool your home
8. Powering your all-electric home with solar panels

6. Also celebrated Sun Day at the Farmers Market, which is a national day of action held on the fall equinox , celebrating solar and wind power, and the movement to leave fossil fuels behind. We offered free rides in an all-electric and/or plug-in hybrid vehicle and gave away free books about moving to an all-electric lifestyle and the importance of energy efficiency.
