[quote=Anonymous]We have a DC home with Solar. Own and EV and replaced our HVAC with mini splits years ago. The one constant you have with converting to electric is increased electric utility service rates. It is stunning how much the delivery of power has increased in ten years. To be fair, natural gas is expensive as well. I am just trying to shine some light in the entire, you will save money argument.

I like electric run homes, here is my take away.

When it gets cold, we still turn on the old boiler the heat just feels better than hot air being blown around the house.

During power outages we can no longer cook. We used to be able to light the cook top with a match and cook full meals. In fact our son still recounts direcho stories of eating dinner in the living room during the week cleanup and power outage.

Somebody above mentioned new cookware. Yes that is required and not inexpensive.

I do like the reduced risk of little hands getting burned... But I no longer have little kids... Sooo but that is a real positive.

As for the air quality issue, you actually create more air contaminants just overheating a pan with butter or oil in it, but byegons. That is not the real purpose of the proposal. [/quote]
