Good News! You likely already have all the power you need to fully electrify. Nearly all homes can fully electrify (including an Electric Vehicle) on a 100 A panel. The time to act is now, before rebates and tax credits expire. There’s never been more support to help you start electrifying your home. Rebates are plentiful (especially for limited income), and federal tax credits are disappearing by the end of the year. It is a great time to upgrade aging appliances and systems such as a water heater, home heating and air conditioning, or to get that performance induction cooktop. Modern electric appliances perform better, are more efficient, safer, and don’t put combustion by-products into your kitchen or outdoor air. If you have a furnace and AC now, you likely won’t need additional circuits for a Heat Pump HVAC which heats and cools. If you have a gas water heater, there are heat pumps that utilize a 120V outlet so you may not need a new 240 V circuit.
Take advantage of the supports available now before they’re gone!
