Could Your Household Benefit from a More Affordable Electric Home?
As families continue to manage rising household expenses, energy costs remain a significant monthly burden. Southern California Edison (SCE) provides helpful information on how recent changes to electric billing and available programs can make powering your home with efficient electric appliances more affordable. We’re sharing this resource with the PIQE community so families can take advantage of cost-saving opportunities.
Many households may not realize that recent changes to electric billing have made it more affordable to power their homes with efficient electric appliances instead of gas. Through SCE, households in Southern California can learn how the Base Services Charge and available rebates and incentives make home electrification more accessible and cost-effective. These changes can lead to long-term savings, improved air quality inside the home, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Understanding the Benefits of an Electric Home
With the introduction of the Base Services Charge, the cost you pay per kilowatt-hour of electricity has decreased by about 10 percent. This means switching from gas appliances to efficient electric options can lower energy use over time and reduce monthly costs.
In addition, rebates and incentives may help cover the cost of upgrades and installation for qualifying appliances.
Electric homes can also:
• Improve indoor air quality by replacing fuel-burning gas appliances
• Use energy more efficiently over time
• Support a healthier environment by reducing emissions
Who Qualifies for This Information
This information applies only to households that have Southern California Edison (SCE) as their electric utility provider. It does not apply to internet, water, gas, or other household services.
Families can confirm their provider by:
• Looking at their electric bill for “SCE” or “Southern California Edison”
• Reviewing the Supply/Generation section of their bill
• Visiting sce.com to confirm service availability in their area
Taking the Next Step
If your household receives electricity from SCE, now may be a good time to explore how electrification, rebates, and recent billing changes can benefit your home.
