Electrify Your Home

The next generation of home appliances – and the clean energy they run on – is here! Safer, healthier, more comfortable, and much more efficient options are now available.  ElectrifyPDX is here to support you in making your plan, so you’re ready to take advantage of new rebates, tax credits, and other programs when it’s time to replace appliances.  This program is for you, whether you want to swap them out as they die or you’re ready to get off fossil fuels this year.

This program will guide you through a series of steps toward achieving a 100% clean, renewable electric home. You’ll find options that fit a variety of budgets and local contractors able to help inform your plan. Once you’ve enrolled, download Rewiring America’s compact Electrify Everything Guide and our Home Electrification Plan template for a printable inventory and checklist to help keep you on track.

We’re Going Electric! yard sign

When you sign up, you get a durable yard sign to post in a visible spot. Inspire friends and neighbors by making your transition visible as you electrify each system and clean up your electric supply. 

We have two designs to choose from! Our original design comes with badges you can apply as you electrify each system in your home:

  • Off-site renewable energy (such as community solar)
  • On-site renewable energy (if you install solar on your rooftop)
  • Air heating and cooling
  • Water heating
  • Appliances (e.g. your stove)

Final certification sign

Once you’ve earned all the badges and your home is powered 100% by clean energy, upload an electric bill or other documentation and we’ll send you a permanent, aluminum, certification sign.
