What Does it Mean to "Electrify" Your Home?

(Spoiler: It's Simpler Than It Sounds)

Remember when switching from cable to streaming felt like a big deal, but now you can't imagine going back? Electrifying your home is kind of like that—upgrading to modern electric appliances that work better and cost less to run.

So What Are We Talking About? It's pretty straightforward: replacing gas-powered appliances with efficient electric ones, one step at a time. Think heat pumps instead of furnaces, induction ranges instead of gas stoves, and heat pump water heaters that give you better hot water while cutting your bills. Some folks even add solar panels to their mix (hello, useful roof!).

Why Bother?

• Lower utility bills (who doesn't want that?)

• Better comfort through St. Louis's wild weather
