Energy efficiency means using less energy to get the same work done – all while decreasing GHG emissions and lowering your energy bill! Switching from gas appliances to electric is one of the best ways to become more energy efficient in the home. Going electric also makes your home faster at recovering from power outages due to weather, and it improves your indoor air quality.
