Electrify Your Home

Building decarbonization is a key solution to climate change. Existing buildings and homes can transition from traditional natural gas heating systems to more efficient electric systems. This enables them to reach net zero energy over time. The transition to renewable heating and cooling will also:

Improve the quality of life in Denver
Increase access to cooling in building
Improve public health and safety

Space Heating and Cooling

Heating and cooling account for the majority of energy we use in our homes. As the grid moves to 100% renewable power, electric renewable heating and cooling is the clear path to reducing carbon emissions generated by our homes.

Water Heating

Your water heater might not be the first thing you think of when changing your home appliances to electric. But it can be a great place to try a heat pump and improve efficiency and indoor air quality!

Home Solar

Adding solar to your home or subscribing to a solar co-op is a great way to save money on your utilities bills and reduce carbon emissions from your house. Learn about all the ways we can help you become a solar household as well!

Equity Priority Homes

Equity Priority Homes are where many of our frontline communities call home. These communities have less access to resources and may face more barriers to adapt to a changing climate. If this is you, you may qualify for additional programs and rebates to electrify your home.

Electric Vehicles

Electrifying your home includes more than just the house itself. Your transportation can also be electrified, which improves our city's air quality and eliminates expensive trips to the gas station. Learn about the other benefits of electric vehicles and how you can save money when you purchase one.
