Beneficial How?

It’s a term that you’ll hear often in energy circles. It refers to the the understanding that replacing dirty fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and propane with electricity to keep our homes and businesses running is cheaper, cleaner, and a smarter way to meet our energy needs. As our sources of power from the grid become cleaner with renewable energy sources like solar and wind, the use of electricity for powering our lives helps reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.

Who Benefits the Most?

Many residents in the Four Corners region depend on propane for heating and cooking. By replacing propane systems with beneficial electrification upgrades like air source heat pumps, we can save families hundreds in utility costs.

From the July 2018 ACEEE(American Council for an Energy Efficiency Economy) Report: The High Cost of Energy in Rural America:

Americans living in rural areas spend a disproportionally high share of their income on energy bills. Rural households have a median energy burden of 4.4%, compared to the national burden of 3.3%. Rural low-income households are even worse off, shouldering a median energy burden almost three times greater than the burden faced by their higher-income counterparts. Other rural residents hit particularly hard include the elderly, nonwhite, and renting households, and those living in multifamily or manufactured homes.”

Air source heat pumps are cost-effective efficiency upgrades for older propane heating systems, especially at the time of furnace, boiler,                                       or air-conditioning system replacement.
