Kicking Gas, a grassroots climate justice organization that works to make home electrification measures accessible and affordable to those who need them in the Puget Sound area, is sponsoring another monthly online information session at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23.
Register here to get the Zoom link.
The organization is offering heat pump subsidies of 20% or 50% — up to $7,500 per household (depending on income and project cost) — plus new subsidies of $500 to $1,000 for electric/induction stoves.
The info sessions provide information about transitioning from fossil fuels to electric, introduce you to vetted contractors in your area, and see which subsidy would work for you.
Climate justice???
I live in a condo – are we eligible to switch from gas to electric?
Theoretically, yes, but each condo situation is different. Most owners need their condo board’s approval to proceed. In addition, it will depend a lot on the current heat source and the most efficient way to replace it. I’d be happy to connect you with a couple of condo owners who are currently involved in making the switch if you are interested.
Your first steps are probably to find out if your electrical panel can handle additional 240v circuits and how practical it is to convert. Perhaps your HOA can help you begin, but ultimately an electrician should evaluate your condo’s electric capabilities and the work involved.
and the electric power goes out…
Just sayin…
