OPINION: Gas water heaters and furnaces in the Bay Area are major contributors to air pollution, releasing nearly three times as much smog-causing nitrogen oxide as all of the cars in the region, and seven times as much as all of the region’s power plants.
, meanwhile, continues to rely on flashy marketing campaigns to try to convince consumers that they need gas stoves. The thinking goes that once a household has committed to a gas stove — and the expensive gas pipelines required to run that stove — they’ll be more likely to buy gas furnaces and water heaters, which are much larger users of gas.
However, as more consumers learn about the health harms from gas appliances and the benefits of electric heat pumps and induction stoves, we foresee more homeowners and businesses moving away from polluting gas to cleaner and more efficient alternatives. Local and state air regulators are starting to realize the health hazards from gas appliances and are taking steps to reduce gas appliance pollution.
