We are excited to share Electrify Mountain View! More Mountain Viewers than ever are starting to electrify, and this platform can help you make the switch to electric too.

Electrify Mountain View is an online platform that offers personalized recommendations on how to electrify all aspects of your home and lifestyle. At no cost, you can learn about actions such as driving an EV, installing solar power, replacing an old gas appliance with an efficient heat pump system, and cooking with an induction stove. The program can also help you find rebates and incentives and will calculate the dollar and carbon savings for every action you take.

Making the switch to electricity can help you save energy and lower your monthly utility bill, make your home safer and more comfortable all year long, and reduce your carbon emissions.

2. Why electrify? There are many reasons to electrify from climate change to savings to home health and comfort.

In Mountain View, emissions from transportation and natural gas used in homes and buildings account for nearly 85% of community-wide greenhouse gas emissions. Tackling those emissions will require bold and widespread action, but we believe it is possible and that Electrify Mountain View can help move our community forward!

Mountain View has access to clean, renewable electricity from Silicon Valley Clean Energy, a community-owned public agency. All Mountain View residents are automatically enrolled in 100% carbon-free energy through this program with the option to upgrade to 100% renewable energy. By making your home 100% electric, you are eliminating carbon emissions from your home's energy use.

Health and safety are also important factors in choosing electric appliances. Gas stoves release harmful pollutants in homes such as nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, and ultra-fine particulates. Induction cooktops are an energy-efficient, easy-to-use, and non-polluting alternative to gas stoves.

Finally, you can save money on your utility bills by switching to efficient, electric appliances. The platform also shows you federal, state, and local rebates and incentives that are available for electric upgrades!

3. How much does it cost? Nothing! The platform is free to use for all Mountain View residents.

4. I'm a renter, can I still use the platform? Yes! There are options for both renters and homeowners on the website.

5. How do I sign up for an account? To sign up and create an account, go to the Electrify Mountain View website.

6. Where can I get more information? For more information on electric appliances, EVs, and why it is important to go electric, visit SVCE’s eHub. You can also visit our website or email us at sustainability@mountainview.gov for more information.
