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. Yikes!
According to a 2023 study, gas-burning stoves in US kitchens are responsible for about 12.7 percent of childhood asthma cases, which is comparable with the asthma risks from exposure to secondhand smoke. Another study showed that kids are 42% more likely to develop asthma in homes with gas appliances.
Clean electric appliances 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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about home electrification upgrades?
Here are some of the most common things folks want to know.
Are electric appliances better for the climate?
Yes! Burning fossil fuels (like "natural" gas) to heat your home and water causes pollution during its production, transportation, and use.
Electric heat pumps are 3-5x more energy-efficient than gas ones, and the electricity used to power them is increasingly green as well.
Will the electric grid be able to support all our newly electrified homes and cars?
Yes! In fact, electrifying our homes and cars will make the grid more reliable and more affordable, thanks to more consistent energy usage throughout the year and smart load shifting.
Why do I need a whole-home electrification plan?
Your home has many systems that all work together. By planning your upgrades and choosing equipment with your whole home in mind, you can often avoid costly electrical service upgrades.
Plus, a whole-home plan from QuitCarbon gives you guidance on which projects would make the most impact in cost and carbon savings, and helps you make the most of current rebates in your area.
How do you select and vet contractors?
QuitCarbon provides personalized introductions to vetted contractors in your area for each project you choose to start.
To vet the contractors, we interview them to assess their experience, examine their online reviews, and get references.
More importantly, we review all contractor bids and compare them to our benchmarks to ensure our clients are getting the right work for a fair price.

How does QuitCarbon make money?
QuitCarbon's expert services are completely free for homeowners - so how do we keep the lights on?
When we refer homeowners to contractors, the contractor pays us a small referral fee. This typically comes from their existing marketing budgets.
We've also won several grants from the US Department of Energy to make home electrification more affordable and equitable.
