Electrification is the process of replacing technologies powered by fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas with systems powered by electricity.
Replacing fossil-fuel appliances with high-efficiency electric appliances offers significant health, safety, financial and environmental advantages.
Unlike conventional systems that burn fossil fuels to generate heat, electric heat pumps draw heat from the environment, then move the heat indoors to warm your home – or outdoors to cool it.
Heat pumps can deliver up to three times more heat energy to a home than the electrical energy it consumes. Heat pumps can also provide both heating and cooling, make almost no noise when operating, including air filtration and dehumidification features. Heat pumps also do not use any combustion, which means better indoor air quality due to the absence of direct emissions such as nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, or carbon monoxide*. (* ENERGY STAR )
