Electrification is essential for climate progress — but without the right support, it risks leaving the households that need help most further behind. A new piece from CMC's Shaun Loyer makes a compelling case: energy efficiency isn't just a complement to electrification - it's the key to making it equitable.
When homes are properly insulated and sealed before heat pumps go in, systems can be smaller, electrical upgrades may not be needed, and energy bills stay manageable - particularly important for resource-constrained households already spending more than 8% of their income on energy.
The takeaway: electrification and efficiency don't just work better together. They belong together.
