??? I thought the plan was to PHASE OUT natural gas appliances in new builds?

We’ve got a heating upgrade planned.

Electric heat pump but with a gas backup/assist. I expect it will run electric most of the year but can’t gamble with only a single heat source for our family in our climate.

Same where I live, we have a pellet stove for backup.

Hey, at least they're still technically contributing to the long term heating of the planet!
