Not looking forward to the higher gas bills this winter? One option to explore: switching to electric. Research has shown switching to electric can lower bills in the long term, and even improve indoor air quality. But where to start? The process can feel confusing – and can be expensive. Reset learns about local efforts to help families make that transition. We talk to Anne Evens, Elevate’s CEO; Chicago homeowner Doris Martin; and Karen Weigert, director of Loyola University Chicago’s Baumhart Center for Social Enterprise and Responsibility.
