Why Now Is the Time to Switch to Electric Before the Seasons Change

As the weather shifts from summer heat to winter chill, many households start to feel the strain of gas appliances. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that natural gas consumption in the U.S. reached record highs in both January and July 2024. This reveals a strain across America, not only on internal gas pipes but also on household bills.

Heat pump water heaters, electric vehicle chargers, and electric stoves all deliver reliable performance without the unpredictability and strain of natural gas. Colorado offers new incentives and rebates, and the upfront costs are more approachable than ever. For example, Denver residents are offered programs like the Climate Action Rebate (CAR) are designed to make switching a no-brainer. My Electric Home helps homeowners take advantage of these opportunities, handling everything from project planning to installation.

To make the benefits even more tangible, My Electric Home also brings electrification to life with the Mini-Home, a 100-square-foot, fully functional demo space built through a grant from Denver’s Climate Action, Sustainability, and Resiliency program.
