The Price of Electricity Has Nearly Tripled Since the 1990s. But Your Income Hasn’t.”
In 1994, California homeowners paid about 9¢ per kilowatt-hour.
Today, many are paying $0.35 or more, and that’s before summer surcharges.
PG&E rates have risen by over 200% in some areas. Meanwhile, the grid is less reliable, and usage is higher than ever, especially with old HVAC systems that run constantly.
💡 Here's the math:
An average California home now spends $3,500–$6,000/year on electricity
A bundled solar + HVAC system can bring that number down to $300–$1,200/year
With PG&E’s net metering, you can sell energy back to the grid, cutting costs even further
The grid got more expensive. You didn’t.
Solar + HVAC isn’t a luxury anymore. It’s a shield.
