This February 2024 report compares gas-connected and all-electric new construction in Massachusetts. It examines upfront costs alongside future energy bills, drawing on building studies, equipment data, and gas and electricity rate forecasts.
The analysis finds that continued increases in gas delivery costs strengthen the case for building all-electric from the start. It also explains how avoiding a gas connection can avoid a later conversion. The results depend on the report’s rate and equipment-cost assumptions.
