Switch from Propane to Electric for Safe and Convenient Heating
Get off propane and switch to electric for safe and convenient energy.Â
Why Make the Switch to Electric?
Switching to heat supplied through electricity gives you the convenience of using Ameren Illinois electric already being used in your home.
Make the switch to electric today by applying for the Home Efficiency Income Qualified (HEIQ) Initiative. If you qualify, you’ll receive a FREE Home Energy Assessment. Through this Assessment, you may be eligible to receive energy-saving upgrades at little to no cost, such as improved insulation, air sealing, ventilation and more. Additionally, qualified customers switching to electric may receive no-cost appliance upgrades, including installation of an air source heat pump, a heat pump water heater, an electric induction stove and an electric clothes dryer – all at little to no cost.
See If You Qualify and Apply
Eligible customers must meet the following criteria:
- Live in a single-family home.
- Must be an Ameren Illinois residential electric customer heating your home with propane.
- Meet maximum gross annual household income requirements based on household size and location.
Note: After the FREE Home Energy Assessment and before the upgrades are installed, each customer will receive a report to determine if the switch to electric will result in a reduced energy bill.
Benefits of Switching From Propane to Electric
Dependable and Advanced Technology
Efficient electric appliances typically involve heat pumps or induction technology which have become increasingly more reliable versus early versions of those technologies.
Safe
With no burning materials, flammable gases or harmful fumes, electric heating is the safest possible heating solution for your home.
Convenient
The Ameren Illinois electric system is already connected to your home to deliver electricity in a reliable manner. You never need to worry about running low on fuel, scheduling tank refills or maintaining storage tanks.
Natural Gas Options
If switching to electric doesn’t meet your needs, you may have the option of switching from propane to natural gas. Ameren Illinois continually expands and upgrades its energy delivery system to meet the needs of growing communities. This means residential customers may be able to choose natural gas as an option for heating.
