This is a book for people who would like to: electrify their existing home; get their home off gas; make their home more comfortable and healthier for them and their family; shrink their total energy costs; make the gas bill disappear completely; and make the most out of renewable energy and storage technologies such as solar panels, air conditioners, heat pumps and batteries. Across 18 chapters it coversessential information from why it's so bad to burn gas (or anything!) in our homes, to household actions to reduce electricity costs to heating and cooling your living spaces in the cheapest way.
It's an urgent call to action but, more crucially, a guidebook that shows readers the way.
