Small changes at home can make a big difference. This Earth Month, San José Clean Energy (SJCE) invites you to explore how switching to clean electricity can reduce pollution, improve comfort, and save money. 

Why Switching from Gas to Electric Matters

Electrification means replacing gas-powered appliances and vehicles with clean electric options—like heat pumps and electric vehicles (EVs). 

When you make the switch, you: 

  • Reduce air pollution – Electric homes and EVs produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions  
  • Improve indoor air quality – No gas means fewer harmful pollutants inside your home  
  • Increase energy efficiency – Electric technologies use less energy to do the same job  
  • Support a cleaner grid – SJCE provides electricity that is over 60% renewable and nearly carbon-free  

Together, these changes help San José move closer to its goal of becoming carbon neutral. 

Choose Electric for Your Home

Upgrading your home with electric appliances can make it more comfortable and efficient.
