Electrify Ashland Now is a local volunteer-driven effort to reduce our community’s greenhouse gas emissions by electrifying our buildings. Electrify Ashland Now is a project of the Ashland Climate Collaborative, an Oregon-registered organization of Ashland residents founded in 2022. Efficient, high-quality electric appliances are affordable and available. Local suppliers and contractors can provide heat pumps for winter warming and summer cooling. Induction cooktops offer safe, flame-free cooking with the responsiveness of gas stoves. We’re here to help you plan your journey. For some of us, replacing gas furnaces, water heaters, and stoves is within reach now. On our website you can find local contractors, learn about the financial and climate costs and benefits of electric heat pumps and heat pump water heaters, learn the steps for planning your electrification journey, and learn more about the products currently available. You can get personal assistance from your Ashland neighbors and local experts, or attend a zoom support group session. You can also read “How I did it” stories from real homeowners of Ashland about their electrification journey.
