Healthier homes for a brighter tomorrow

With 2022’s passage of Maryland’s landmark climate law, we are on our way to reaching our climate goals. But we can’t reach our targets without reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.

Moving our homes and buildings to clean electricity from the fossil fuels that pollute our air and damage our climate is known as electrification.

New federal funding will help more Marylanders move toward all-electric homes and upgrade furnaces, hot water heaters and stoves with clean, highly-efficient, electric appliances — like electric heat pumps, hot water heaters and induction stoves. This new funding will help when you buy your appliances and clean electricity will lower your monthly utility bill by reducing your reliance on ever-changing gas prices.

Healthy Homes, Healthy Families

Electrifying your home is better for your health too. Gas appliances fill our homes with many of the same pollutants as car exhaust. Who wants to breathe that in at home?

Moving your home to clean electricity from fossil fuels will help our neighbors who suffer from chronic illnesses such as asthma, diabetes, COPD, and other respiratory diseases by reducing smog and air pollution.

So let’s take that next step and electrify Maryland. It’s cleaner, healthier, and will save your family money, improve your family’s health, and help build a better, cleaner Maryland.
