Kicking Gas urges households to get in line for subsidies while funds last
EVERETT — With funding deadlines a month out and federal funding cuts looming, the climate justice group Kicking Gas is urging Snohomish County residents to apply for green appliance subsidies.
The Whidbey Island-based nonprofit offers 20-100% savings for households looking to switch to electric appliances such as induction stoves or ductless heat pumps.
In the past few years, numerous studies have shown that natural gas used in gas stoves causes widespread health issues. In addition, induction ranges are more efficient than gas stoves, saving the owner money on utility bills.
Heat pumps are also more energy-efficient than space-heating systems and can reduce electricity used for heating in houses by up to 75%, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
