Electrify WeHo

Burning fossil fuels like methane gas, for cooking and heating, can significantly contribute to local air pollution and climate change. Energy use in buildings recently accounted for 60% of greenhouse gas emissions in West Hollywood, primarily tied to the natural gas combustion that provides heating, hot water, and cooking fuel. Electrifying your home by replacing gas appliances with modern energy-efficient electric appliances helps you live in a cleaner and healthier environment and can also help lower your energy usage and reduce energy bills. Visit the Electrify WeHo page to explore resources to transition into an all-electric home regardless of income status.
