What are the advantages of heating and cooling with electricity over fossil fuel?

May 2, 2023 by Jeremi Lashua

Heating with fossil fuels and transportation are the top sources of carbon pollution in Vermont, and switching to clean electricity for those are the biggest things you can do to reduce your own carbon footprint and to help Vermont reach its climate goals. GMP’s energy supply is 100% carbon free and 78% renewable  on an annual basis, and GMP will be 100% renewable by 2030. This means that your new home heating system will not add CO2 to our atmosphere, and that is the driving force behind the Hillside East neighborhood and its fossil fuel free infrastructure.
