San Francisco's Clean Energy Dream Home is a mobile showroom that made the case for all-electric buildings during Fleet Week. The 18 by 8 foot structure ran on a Ford EV and included heat pumps for heating, cooling, and hot water, plus an induction cooktop and an electric fireplace. The goal is to show residents what a carbon-free home looks like without a gas hookup. California is moving in that direction. New natural gas heaters are being phased out, and the Clean Energy Choice Act requires utilities to offer financial incentives when homeowners need gas line repairs. PG&E estimates switching from gas to heat pump technology saves about $714 per year, though actual savings depend on rates and home conditions. For anyone tracking building electrification, the demo is a simple way to see the equipment and the policy side by side.
