Electrify Everything MN is a program that shares how to electrify your home and connects you with contractors and resources to accomplish your home energy goals. Workshop participants will learn what home electrification is, the benefits of home electrification, and resources to help pay for projects. Qualified contractors will be available at the end of the event to answer questions and help you start a project.
Home electrification is the process of transitioning a home from fossil fuel (such as natural gas) powered home and water heating equipment and appliances like clothes dryers and ranges, to using only electricity. Whether you want to prioritize improving indoor air quality and home health and safety, lowering your impact on the environment, or keeping upfront costs down, the program provides step by step guidance so households can develop a plan to electrify their homes on a realistic timeline and take full advantage of federal, state and local financial incentives and support. So that residents aren’t left doing their own research, the Electrify Everything program provides information about technical and financial resources along the electrification journey.
This workshop content is similar to that of our spring 2023 workshops, and will include:
- Presentation on the pillars of home electrification: Insulation and air sealing, heat pumps for heating and cooling, heat pump hybrid water heaters, clothes dryers, induction stoves, and electrical service upgrades.
- Activities to allow you to ask questions about specific electrification steps and technologies.
- Overview of financial resources, planning assistance, and preferred contractors for electrification projects.
- New for the fall workshop series: Contractor tabling - at 11:45am contractors will be available to answer your questions and help you take the first steps. All
are welcome to arrive at 11:45am to meet contractors.
All residents of Eden Prairie, Edina and St. Louis Park (both homeowners and renters) are welcome, and light refreshments will be provided. Residents of other cities are encouraged to join the wait list. Electrify Everything is a city program founded by the cities of Eden Prairie, Edina, Minneapolis, and St. Louis Park, with support from the Center for Energy & Environment.
