Electrify Your Home
Get $50/month in bill credits when you switch to electric appliances.
As a CleanPowerSF customer, you already power your home with clean energy from renewable sources like wind and solar. Now you can make an even greater impact by replacing your gas appliances. CleanPowerSF offers $50 monthly bill credits when upgrading your appliances to electric. We’re here to support you, whether it’s your first upgrade or you’re ready to remove your gas meter for good.
Why Upgrade to Electric?
Modernize Your Home
Today’s electric appliances aren’t just better for the planet, they’re better, period. Heat pumps and induction stoves not only outperform their gas counterparts, they surpass them in efficiency, reliability, and convenience.
Reduce Exposure to Pollution and Fire Risk
Gas-fired appliances can release harmful pollutants into your home. Gas is highly flammable, posing a health and safety hazard, especially in case of an earthquake or fire. Going electric eliminates these risks at the source.
For the Climate
Buildings are responsible for more than one-third of San Francisco’s greenhouse gas emissions. And gas appliances in homes are a big part of that. By switching to electric, you’re taking one of the most direct, meaningful actions any San Franciscan can to fight global warming. The impact starts the moment you make the switch.

Hot Water
Upgrade to a heat pump water heater and transform one of your home’s hardest-working systems into one of its smartest. Today’s models learn your household’s hot water patterns and shift energy use to off-peak hours. This helps you avoid peak electricity rates without added effort. Heat pump water heaters use up to seven times less energy than conventional gas units. Not only does it pay for itself over time, but you can also get money back when you upgrade.
