Electrification in Maryland

If your home is heated with oil, propane, or natural gas, you’ve probably felt the impact of rising fuel prices, inconsistent comfort, and growing maintenance costs. With fossil fuel systems, there’s always the question of what to expect on your next bill.

That’s where electrification comes in.

Switching from fossil fuels to efficient electric systems like heat pumps or heat pump water heaters offers more than lower energy bills. It gives you cleaner, quieter, and more consistent comfort—and thanks to new rebates in Maryland, it’s more affordable than ever to make the switch.

Why Homeowners Are Making the Switch to Electric

Homeowners across Maryland are moving away from oil, propane, and natural gas for three big reasons:

  1. High Fuel Costs – Oil and propane prices are volatile. Even natural gas bills have jumped in recent years. Heat pumps use electricity more efficiently, offering more predictable—and often lower—monthly costs.

  2. Year-Round Comfort – Modern heat pumps do more than just heat. They also cool your home in summer, often replacing window units or older A/C systems. With one efficient system, you get even, reliable comfort all year long.

  3. Better Incentives – Thanks to major program updates in 2024, Maryland now offers up to $15,000 in rebates for electrification projects. That includes homes with propane and oil heat, which weren’t eligible before.

What Is Electrification?

Electrification means replacing fossil-fuel systems (like oil furnaces or gas water heaters) with high-efficiency electric systems.

You can go fully electric or choose a hybrid setup with a fossil fuel backup. Either way, Maryland’s updated incentive programs make it worth exploring.

Already Had an Energy Audit? Here’s Why It’s Worth Revisiting

If your audit was completed before these updates—or if you previously had oil, propane, or natural gas and weren’t eligible—now is the time to ask us for a revised rebate calculation. You may qualify for significantly more than you did before.
