October is not only for pumpkin-spiced lattes, cozy sweaters, and spooky Halloween costumes. It’s also National Energy Awareness Month!

As we close out October, we encourage you to take a few minutes to learn more about energy vampires (they do exist!), where most of San Francisco’s electricity comes from, and what actions you can take to prioritize clean energy and the environment.

Did you know that May was Affordable Housing Month in the Bay Area? At its core, this month-long celebration is about building more affordable housing, taking care of our neighbors, and fostering a sense of belonging for everyone who calls San Francisco home.

Water heating accounts for around 20% of the average home’s energy use. Most water heating in San Francisco relies on natural gas, a fossil fuel. That’s why switching to an energy-efficient electric heat pump is better for the environment, your wallet, and your health. Be part of the community for change! End your toxic relationship with natural gas and move on with an electric heat pump water heater.
