If we include personal cars, along with appliances like water heaters, stoves and furnaces, more than 40 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions come from individuals at the home level. The good news: no matter where you live, there are steps you can take to make your home cleaner, healthier and more comfortable.
And thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, there’s now a raft of federal incentives to help homeowners electrify their lives. Electrification has even become a theme on long running home improvement programs like “This Old House.” But with all the new technology and the federal tax credits, where to start?
Guests:
Ross Trethewey, Home Technology Expert, “This Old House”
Ari Matusiak, Co-founder, President and CEO, Rewiring America
Edith Buhs, Electrification Coach, Rewiring America; Decarbonization Advisor, Abode Energy Management
