Switching to Electric Heating Systems
Signed into law in 2018, California’s SB100 makes giant leaps towards using energy that is 100% renewable. This means that gradually over the next few years the state will have to make adjustments with how they get their energy, and this includes homeowners. Most homes that are not modern come equipped with a gas furnace, so homeowners will have to know the steps to take to prepare for this change to ensure they save time, money, and hassle.
You may be wondering: What all does this law call for?
This law puts the state of California on a path to using 100% renewable energy by the year 2045. This means that the use of fossil fuels will be gradually fizzled out, and instead clean electricity that will be produced by solar means will be the main source of energy. This also means that homeowners who wait to switch to electric heating may be subject to higher gas bills. In ten years, the $200 gas bill you’ve always paid could be amped up to $600 or $800.
So, what can you do to be ahead of this change and ensure that money and time will be saved?
