Sustainable Living in Action: making the pivot to an all electric home

Meet Brandon Bercovich, recipient of a 2026 City of Piedmont Sustainable Living Award. Brandon’s electrification journey began with a heat pump and grew into a full home transformation. He made the switch to induction cooking after his gas stove triggered carbon monoxide alarms three times in one year, then continued building on that progress with solar panels, electrical upgrades, a heat pump water heater, and an EV charger. By 2024, he had fully electrified his home and removed the gas meter entirely, completing his household’s transition away from gas.
