Ali-Eiectric Homes Climb to 1 in 4 of All U.S. Residences

摘要

A growing number of homes in the U.S. are all-electric, with 25% of residences nationwide using only electricity, according to the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) 2015 Residential Energy Consumption Survey. The survey contains the latest data available. The share of all-electric homes has risen in each census region over the past decade, particularly in the Midwest and South. Changes to the types of equipment used in homes and faster population growth in warmer climates have contributed to the rise in all-electric residences, EIA observes.
