Section 3 of 5Modern Electric Technologies
Building electrification relies on advanced electric technologies that are far more efficient than their fossil fuel counterparts. These technologies don't just replace gas systems - they often provide superior performance, comfort, and cost savings.
Heat pumps are the cornerstone of building electrification, using electricity to move heat rather than burning fuel to create it. Combined with efficient electric appliances and smart controls, these technologies can dramatically reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
Efficiency Revolution
Modern electric technologies achieve 2-4 times the efficiency of traditional fossil fuel systems. A gas furnace might be 80% efficient, while a heat pump can deliver 300-400% efficiency by moving existing heat.
