Homeowners. Renters. Property owners.
Different paths. One destination.

There is no single pathway to a fossil-fuel-free future. Homeowners, renters, and multifamily property owners all have different budgets, timelines, and building types. What unites them are the benefits of electrification:

• Improved indoor air quality
• Greater safety
• Long-term savings
• Climate protection

At the 2026 Home Electrification Fair, you’ll learn about the approaches and technologies that best fit your unique situation. Professional contractors, local government agencies and nonprofit experts specializing in financial incentives will be on hand to answer your questions and help you take the next step.

Win an Instant Pot or Induction Cooktop Burner!

All attendees are invited to enter a raffle to win an induction cooktop burner or a 6-qt. Instant Pot. Both appliances offer an easy way to improve indoor air quality while cutting down on gas use in your kitchen.

Presentations

Electrify Your Home, 2:30 – 3:15
Learn about a “watt diet,” a strategy for electrifying your home with efficient appliances and circuit sharing controls on a 100-amp electrical panel, avoiding costly upgrades.

Rebates for multifamily property upgrades. The shared interests of renters and property owners. 4:00 – 4:45
A representative of BayREN will outline the Bay Area Multifamily Building Enhancements program. BAMBE gives cash rebates for qualifying energy-saving upgrades.
