Interested in Replacing Your Gas Appliances with Electric?

Sponsored by PCE and implemented by Ardenna Energy, LLC, Peninsula Climate Comfort will provide design assistance services and incentives to five San Mateo County households who want to replace some or all of their natural gas appliances with electric versions. Electric appliances reduce fossil fuel consumption, improve indoor air quality and safety, and are powered with clean, renewable energy such as solar and wind.
As part of the program, five households will be chosen to represent several types of homes typical of San Mateo County in order to model the cost effectiveness of the upgrades. Program participants will receive several benefits. To learn more and apply for design assistance, please visit
