I find the new rule about the banning of gas water heaters and furnaces to be infuriating. 2/3 of homes in the Bay Area, including mine, currently use a gas water heater and/or furnace, and many of those homes don’t have electrical systems that can handle the installation of electric water heaters and furnaces. If the water heater or furnace goes out, homeowners will have to spend thousands of extra dollars, and possibly wait days or weeks, retrofitting their electrical systems before they can be replaced. California’s politicians seem unable to do anything except make people’s lives more expensive and more of a hassle.
