Electrify Your Home
Upgrades Needed To Comply With The Energy Master Plan
New Jersey’s Energy Master Plan is here, and you’ll eventually have to make upgrades to your home to comply.
If you heat and cook with natural gas, that means removing your furnace, hot water, dryer, and stove with new electric-powered equivalents. You’ll also need to install car charging systems for your new electric vehicles.
And then you’ll probably need to upgrade the electrical circuits in your home to handle the increased electrical needs.
