Concerned about climate change, more Chicagoans are buying all-electric home heating systems

When Derek Eder started looking for an all-electric heating system for his 100-year-old home in Oak Park, some local furnace installers refused to work with him, saying the technology wasn't up to the challenge of a Midwestern winter. Other installers told him they'd do the job, but only if he invested in a natural gas backup system for very cold days. But Eder, who was trying to go all-electric at home to fight climate change, pressed on, eventually finding a local company that was happy to replace his gas furnace with two high-efficiency electric heat pumps and an all-electric backup system.
