There’s no two ways about it: being and eco-conscious homeowner on a budget is tough.
The cost of living continues to rise. Even as inflation has come down, consumer prices have increased more than 20% since the pandemic by some metrics.
And yet, the desire to make environmentally friendly choices remains.
If only there was a way to help save the planet while also saving money…

Whole home electrification can help
Whole home electrification is the process of switching a home’s equipment and appliances over from being powered by nonrenewable resources — like fossil fuels — to being fully powered by electricity.
With electricity as a home’s sole energy source — especially when you use renewable energy sources like solar to generate it — you can do more than just reduce your emissions. Residential home electrification can actually save American households $96 billion in energy costs across 49 million U.S. homes.
But electrification is just one aspect of planning to run a home on electricity, of course. Other ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs include insulating windows and swapping out existing lighting fixtures for more energy-efficient ones — and there are more where that came from.
To learn more about trends in whole home electrification, get a deep dive into the benefits, and get real life steps on how to get started, check out our (ungated!) e-book: From Solar to Heat Pumps: Mastering Whole-Home Electrification.
For solar installers and contractors, it also has actionable information on how to add whole home electrification services to your portfolio. Download it (again, ungated), read it, and hand it out to potential customers.
