The goal is to replace fossil fuel burning appliances (like gas furnaces) with efficient, electric appliances (like heat pumps). Start by replacing a single appliance or go all-electric and get rid of fossil fuels entirely.
There are two reasons to start by upgrading your water heater.
First, water heaters use more energy than most people realize. It’s the second biggest energy expense for most homeowners, accounting for 20% of average energy bills in the U.S. (source).
Second, heat pump water heaters operate so efficiently that they cost significantly less to operate than conventional gas or electric water heaters. According to ENERGY STAR, a heat pump water heater saves an average family of four $350 annually or $3,750 over the life of the system.
Most of your home energy bills and carbon emissions come from space heating and cooling. Replacing a gas furnace with an energy efficient heat pump is the single most impactful thing most homeowners can do.
We’re talking about a huge reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. It’s estimated that replacing a 96% efficient furnace with a heat pump reduces CO2 emissions by 76-81% in the Pacific region of the U.S. (source).
Going beyond carbon emissions, heat pumps improve indoor air quality, and they deliver more consistent heating and cooling across rooms and floors of a home.
If you have a gas stove, clothes dryer, or gas fireplace, the third priority is to replace them with an electric induction stove, electric dryer, and electric fireplace. This reduces carbon emissions and improves indoor air quality.
For example, when you burn natural gas to cook food, your stove releases nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide - a colorless, odorless gas that interferes with the delivery of oxygen throughout the body. Effective ventilation helps, but on average, children living in homes with gas stoves have a 42% increased chance of developing asthma.
Finally, electrify your ride, and start producing clean, renewable energy on your roof.
Electric Vehicles (EVs): Many EV drivers pay $0.99 to drive the same distance as a gallon of gas in a conventional car. EVs cost less to operate and have almost no maintenance costs. What’s more, if every multi-car household in the U.S. switched one of their cars to an EV, we’d reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 160–320 million metric tons annually (source). That’s the same amount of energy needed to power 18 to 36 million homes use every year.
Rooftop Solar: Over the last 10 years, solar has surged as Oregon’s fastest growing source of electricity. We’re now producing enough solar energy in Oregon to power about 170,000 homes. The icing on the cake? You can cut the cost of installing solar by as much as 50% by taking advantage of cash incentives from the Energy Trust, solar rebates from the State of Oregon, and federal tax credits.
