I converted my old house to heat pump a couple years ago, and with my new house I’m planning to install solar panels *and* switch to heat pumps. Eventually, I’ll disconnect the gas line completely.

I also built a small cottage in the back. That was all electric from the start.

My neighbor next door switched to all electric and installed solar panels. Now the power company pays *him* $7000/year.

It’s easier to build an all electric house than to convert an existing house.
