A few weeks ago, our office toured an all-electric new construction home in Woodlawn to learn about all the technology that goes into making a home run on just electricity.
From lower utility bills to improved indoor air quality, electric homes boast major benefits.
We learned about the major benefits of all-electric homes—from insulation and solar panels that can lower utility bills to just $17 a month, to induction ranges that cook faster without polluting indoor air—as well as tips for retrofitting your home, and the easiest appliances to start with.
Ald. Vasquez discussing the benefits of all-electric homes with the host, Wayne Beals of Beals Properties, and Benjamin Van Horne from Greenline Homes.
