Whole Home Electrification in Rhode Island

Rhode Island homeowners across 62 towns are served by 3 electric utilities, with residential rates ranging from 17.1¢ to 37.0¢ per kWh. Full home electrification replaces every fossil fuel appliance with efficient electric alternatives powered by rooftop solar — eliminating your electric bill, heating fuel bill, and gasoline costs simultaneously.

A complete electrification project includes rooftop solar (10-12kW to cover all electric loads), a cold-climate heat pump for heating and cooling, a home battery for backup and demand response, and a Level 2 EV charger. In Rhode Island, switching from Oil & Gas to a heat pump saves $1,410/year on heating alone. Solar eliminates your electric bill, and EV charging saves approximately $1,200/year versus gasoline.

Rhode Island offers up to $12,000 in combined state rebates: Clean Heat RI heat pump rebate ($11,500). RI Energy EV charger rebate ($500). Many utilities add their own rebates on top. The federal residential ITC (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025.
