Exploring How Electric Home Upgrades Can Help Lower Monthly Energy Costs

As families continue looking for ways to manage household expenses, energy bills remain an important part of the monthly budget. Southern California Edison (SCE) offers updated information about how electric home upgrades, billing changes, and available programs can make powering your home more affordable. We’re sharing this resource with the PIQE community so families can learn about potential cost-saving opportunities.

Recent updates to electric billing have lowered the cost per kilowatt-hour for many households served by SCE. This change, combined with rebates and incentives for efficient electric appliances, can make switching from gas to electric options more practical and budget-friendly. Over time, these upgrades may lead to savings, better indoor air quality, and reduced environmental impact.

Why Consider an Electric Home

With the Base Services Charge now in place, many customers are seeing about a 10 percent reduction in the per-kilowatt-hour cost of electricity. This shift can make energy-efficient electric appliances a smart long-term choice for your home.

Rebates and incentives may also be available to help offset the cost of purchasing and installing qualifying appliances.

Electric homes can also:

  • Support cleaner indoor air by replacing gas appliances that burn fuel
  • Improve energy efficiency over time
  • Help reduce emissions that impact the environment

Who This Information Is For

This information applies only to households that receive electricity from SCE. It does not apply to water, gas, internet, or other household services.
