Why Go Electric for Appliances?
Protect your loved ones and invest in your home for the future.
Go Electric. Because Indoor Pollution is Super Gross
Modern, all-electric appliances remove the main sources of harmful indoor emissions, creating a safer space for you and your loved ones. It’s time to break up with gas.
Ditch The Gas. Keep The Heat
Stay cozy in winter and chill in summer, all with one system. A super-efficient heat pump is both a heater and AC, so you can stop hoarding blankets and fans.
Having a Gas Furnace is Like Using a Pager
When your old gas furnace finally bites the dust, it’s time to go electric! Ditch the carbon monoxide, fumes, and mystery smells—modern, all-electric HVACs keep your home cozy, clean, and safe. Say goodbye to the continual on/off cycling of your old gas furnace. Modern electric heat pumps deliver the perfect temperature and humidity all year round.

Learn how easy and fun it is to recycle your fruit and vegetable scraps, leaves, and plant cuttings into compost in these free workshops! These workshops teach composting options suitable for those with or without a backyard. Apartment dwellers welcome! Compost provides valuable nutrients for your garden soil, helps retain moisture, which saves water, prevents erosion, loosens clay and compacted soils for better drainage, and suppresses weeds. It is rewarding to know you are turning what some consider waste into precious organic material for your garden.
Discounts and rebates for backyard compost and worm compost bins will be distributed to San Mateo County residents!
