An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    Same here. House built in 1946, gas everything.

    But I had a lucky start in a previous owner upgrading to 200a service …. Maybe to install central air? When I moved in, I got all gas appliances, but 20 years later, everything is coming up for replacement. Times have changed. Technology is changing. Our understanding of our impact on the environment is changing.

    The timing is perfect.

    • I replaced my old gas stove with induction, and a big rebate
    • i have teens just starting to drive so I let them use my old Subaru and bought myself an EV, and a huge rebate
    • I installed a level 2 charger, with a rebate

    My furnace and AC are past their life expectancy and there are huge rebates on heat pumps ….
