Get Ready, Get Set, and Go Electric!
Get Ready & Save
Energy saved is more valuable than energy generated! 35% of energy is wasted in our homes through poor insulation, air leaks around doors and windows, and energy inefficient appliances such as gas furnaces and stoves, clothes dryers, etc.
The very first thing to do is have a home blower door test done by Accurate Insulation to determine where you are wasting energy.

Lowering Your Energy Bill
As you can see from the pie chart above, heating and cooling are the two biggest energy hogs. So when your gas furnace and air conditioner need replacing, consider a much more efficient electric heat pump with mini-splits that provide both heating and cooling.

What is a Mini-split System
A mini-split system is a type of HVAC system called a heat pump that provides both heating and cooling without the need for ductwork. These systems consist of an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor units, which can be mounted on walls, ceilings, or floors. Mini-splits offer precise temperature control for individual rooms or zones, making them ideal for a variety of applications.
Benefits of a Mini-split System
-
Energy Efficiency: Mini-split systems are highly efficient, allowing you to save on energy costs by only heating or cooling the areas you use.
-
Zoned Comfort: With multiple indoor units, you can set different temperatures for different rooms or zones, providing personalized comfort throughout your home or business.
-
No Ductwork Required: Mini-splits are a great solution for homes or buildings without existing ductwork, reducing installation complexity and cost.
-
Quiet Operation: These systems operate quietly, providing comfort without the noise associated with traditional HVAC systems.
-
Improved Indoor Air Quality: With advanced filtration options, mini-split systems can help improve indoor air quality by reducing dust, allergens, and other particles.

Home electrification means replacing appliances and systems that run on fossil fuels—like gas furnaces, water heaters, stoves, and clothes dryers—with efficient electric versions. Examples include:
-
Heat pumps for heating and cooling
-
Heat pump water heaters
-
Induction cooktops
-
Electric clothes dryers
Paired with renewable energy and smart controls, these upgrades reduce emissions and can save money over time.

Q:
A:
How can I transition my home and vehicle to run on clean electricity?
A step-by-step approach works best:
-
Blower Door Test – Assess your current home energy use.
-
Efficiency upgrades – Improve insulation, seal leaks, and upgrade windows.
-
Add solar or renewable power – Offset the electricity your home and vehicle will use.
-
Switch appliances – Replace gas-powered systems with efficient electric models.
-
Buy or lease a new or used all-electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV)
-
Install home EV charging – Charge your car conveniently overnight
Q:
A:
Will electrifying my home increase my electric bill?
Your electricity use will likely go up, but your overall energy costs may go down because you’ll no longer be paying for gas or propane. Using high-efficiency electric appliances and taking advantage of time-of-use rates, solar panels, and battery storage can further lower costs.
Q:
A:
Are there rebates or tax incentives for electrifying my home?
Yes, there are rebates available for the following:
-
Heat pumps (space and water heating)
-
Induction ranges
-
Weatherization & insulation upgrades
-
Home EV chargers
-
Solar panels and battery storage
These rebates and credits can cover a large portion of the upfront cost—sometimes up to 100% for lower-income households.

Q:
A:
How does home electrification help the environment and community?
Electrifying homes and vehicles:
-
Cuts greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating fossil fuel use.
-
Improves indoor and outdoor air quality by removing gas combustion.
-
Supports local clean energy jobs in installation and maintenance.
-
Builds resilience when paired with solar and battery systems, keeping homes powered during outages.
