Association for Energy Affordability

California’s push for building electrification is quickly driving major changes in the residential energy sphere. Solar contractors, designers, and affiliated trades have the opportunity to capture additional market share by offering or referring gas-to-electric appliance services. This is especially important in light of recent NEM policy changes. Solar, batteries, and home appliance electrification offer a perfect match for getting customers to Zero Net Energy, or at least minimizing operational costs. In this session, Electrify My Home will introduce basics of

Electrification is taking form in California - gas water heaters are being based out in the Bay Area by 2027 and over 70 municipalities have policies phasing out gas appliances.
