• Save On Energy Bills: Modern electric appliances are 3-5 times more efficient than gas appliances. By using less energy, high-efficiency electric appliances can lower your energy bills. 
• Save On New Appliances: Because high-efficiency electric appliances save energy, many programs offer incentives to cover the cost of upgrading. Southern California Edison (SCE), the state of California, and the federal government offer incentives to cover some or all of the cost of high-efficiency electric home upgrades

• Improve Air Quality: Removing gas appliances can improve the indoor air quality of your home, making it a healthier place for you and your family. Gas appliances can leak and exhaust pollutants, such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, which can have harmful health impacts.
•  Increase Safety: Switching to electric appliances can reduce the risk of gas leaks and other safety hazards. Modern technologies also offer safety improvements. For instance, induction stoves are not hot unless a pot or pan is on the burner when turned on. 
• Enhance Comfort: Efficient electric appliances offer improved comfort and convenience. For example, heat pumps provide heating and cooling; induction stoves heat up faster and offer more precise temperature control.

• Save Energy: Efficient electric appliances use less energy, which reduces demand for our energy resources.
• Clean Energy: By switching to electric appliances, you can help reduce emissions and contribute to better air quality in your home and neighborhood. Unlike gas appliances, electric appliances do not create direct carbon emissions, which can harm the environment and contribute to climate change. Instead, electric appliances use energy from our electric grid, which includes a growing amount of solar, wind, and other clean energy.
• Contribute to California’s Climate Goals: California has set a goal to become carbon neutral by 2045, with 85% emissions reduction. By going electric and improving the energy efficiency of your home, you can play an important role in helping California achieve these ambitious goals.

People are increasingly opting for electric appliances because they outperform other options.

• Heat pump systems provide both heat and AC in one system, and they can be 3-5 times more efficient than a traditional furnace. Instead of creating heat, heat pumps move heat from one space to another, making them so efficient. When the heat is on, heat pumps pull heat from the outdoor air and bring it inside, and they reverse the process when you switch to AC.
• Heat pump water heaters use the same heat pump technology to provide hot water for your home and are 2-3 times more energy efficient than conventional electric water heaters.
• Induction stoves use a magnetic field to heat your pots and pans directly, making them efficient and safer. They look like other glass-top electric stoves but are 5-10% more efficient than conventional ones and provide precision temperature control that can outperform gas stoves. They are about three times more efficient than gas stoves and better for indoor air quality.
• ENERGY STAR® certified electric clothes dryers use 20% less energy than conventional models, helping you save on energy costs.
