Examples of electrification that are not considered BE
- If the cost of installing and operating a cold climate heat pump increases your annual space heating costs it is not considered BE. Although you satisfy the 3 other rules you negatively impact your long-term costs.
- An electric resistive boiler can have negative impacts on the grid’s capacity and potentially increase your annual costs. This would not be considered BE. Here you positively impact 2 rules but negatively impact 2 other rules.
Examples of electrification that are considered BE
- You purchase an EV and you save over 70% on annual fuel costs and charge off the grids peak. This satisfies all 4 rules and does not negatively impact any of the rules.
- Replacing a gas water heater with new electric water heater lowers your annual costs and improves indoor air quality. This measure satisfies all 4 rules and does not negatively impact any of the rules.
- Install electric water heaters
