Electrify refers to changing your energy sources from combustion-based (gas, coal, oil) to energy-efficient electricity powered. Phasing out fossil-fuel based appliances is an important step in the transition to a cleaner future, especially as renewables make up a larger and larger portion of our grid’s energy mix.
