Some things that go bump in the night aren’t ghosts; they’re gas appliances.
From creaky furnaces to clunky water heaters, older gas-powered appliances can be real energy vampires. They burn fossil fuels, create indoor air pollution, and can drive up energy bills.
The good news? With help from Peninsula Clean Energy’s rebates and 0% interest loans, you can phase out older gas appliances over time and replace them with efficient, electric models that make your home safer, healthier, and more comfortable.
The ghosts in your home: Gas appliances that haunt your energy use
-
- Gas furnaces & water heaters: They warm your home, but they can also release carbon emissions and harmful indoor air pollutants.
- Gas stoves & ovens: Cooking with gas can emit nitrogen dioxide and other irritants that affect indoor air quality.
- Gas dryers: Older models use more energy and take longer to dry clothes than efficient, electric dryers.
These appliances may seem harmless, but over time they can cost you more in energy and maintenance.
The heroes: Clean, electric upgrades for your home
Ready to modernize your home’s energy use? Here are a few efficient, all-electric upgrades that improve comfort and air quality:
