How to partner with QuitCarbon
QuitCarbon has many different types of partnerships with
nonprofits, community groups, local governments, and more.
Why should you partner with QuitCarbon?
QuitCarbon is a free service that makes it simple for people to take climate action, starting with their own homes.
Our clients love our free service, as evidenced by our high NPS score of 67 (see benchmarks for NPS scores across numerous industries).
We’ve presented a 20-min info session on home electrification to more than 30 nonprofit and community groups, to consistently glowing reviews!
Educate more folks about how and why they should electrify
- Electrifying is typically the single most impactful thing anyone can do to respond to the climate crisis.
- Home electrification can be surprisingly affordable! Rebates, incentives, tax credits, and lower utility bills mean that it is often cheaper to switch to electric appliances than to stick with gas!
- Electrified homes are healthier, more comfortable, more valuable, and more resilient to a changing climate.
- Electrification work is great for local contractors. Those local small businesses bring the benefits of electrifying back to the community through increased local employment.
Help more people make the switch to clean energy homes!
QuitCarbon's free service makes home electrification easier, more successful, and cheaper for everyone.
It's a virtuous cycle: As more people have good experiences electrifying, they spread the word to their friends, elected leaders, contractors, and equipment manufacturers.

"Let's put a quote here from one of our happy community partners!"
Better for your home.
Better for your planet.
Your home's gas appliances pollute the air indoors and outdoors with CO2, methane, NOX, benzene, and more.
A recent study showed that kids are 42% more likely to develop asthma in homes with gas appliances.
By choosing clean electric appliances, you'll make your home safer while cutting down your climate impact.
Plus, these modern appliances are simply better:
Induction stove? More fun to cook with!
Heat pump? Perfect home temp, year-round!
Heat pump water heater? Free AC in the garage!
