"Our goal is to take the mystery out of electrification. When neighbors can walk through a home, see the equipment in action and talk candidly with the homeowner, it makes the transition to clean energy feel practical and achievable."
"Tour attendees will be able to see working examples of energy-efficient heat pumps for space heating and cooling, heat pump water heaters, induction cooktops, rooftop solar systems, home battery storage and electric vehicles. Several homes will also showcase rainwater catchment systems and composting systems."
"Participants will have the chance to speak directly with homeowners about their experiences with appliance selection, contractor hiring, installation timelines and the financial aspects of electrification, including tax credits, rebates and incentive programs."
The Green @ Home Neighborhood Tour, presented by Rotary Clubs of Cupertino, Saratoga, and Los Altos alongside Acterra and Silicon Valley Clean Energy, invites community members to tour homes featuring home electrification and sustainable living upgrades. The March 14, 2026 event showcases working examples of heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, induction cooktops, rooftop solar systems, battery storage, electric vehicles, rainwater catchment systems, and composting systems. Attendees can directly engage with homeowners to discuss appliance selection, contractor hiring, installation timelines, and financial considerations including tax credits and rebates. The tour aims to demystify electrification by providing transparent, firsthand accounts of both challenges and long-term benefits of transitioning to electric living.
