Need Help Getting Off Gas? Call The Free Quitline!

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe.

Let’s be honest, getting off natural (methane) gas isn’t always easy. Maybe you love your gas stove. Maybe the price tag for new appliances feels out of reach. Or maybe you’re overwhelmed by all the choices and technologies, and don’t know where to start.

You’re not alone — and you’re not without support.

As part of Clean Air Week 2025, a new, free Natural Gas Quitline is launching to help people like you make the switch from gas to clean electric alternatives.

Think of it like quitting smoking. You know it’s better for your health, your wallet in the long run, and the planet—but that doesn’t make it easy. That’s where the Quitline comes in. Just like the smoking cessation hotlines from the 90s and early 2000s, we need a Quitline to help us get off gas.

Call the Quitline and you’ll be connected with an electrification coach who can help answer your questions and walk you through your options for replacing natural gas appliances and reducing harmful indoor gas emissions.

Our coaches can answer questions about:

• Induction stoves (they’re fast, safe, and yes — better than gas)
• Heat pumps for heating and cooling (What type do I need? Ducted? Ductless?)
• Heat pump water heaters (Do they make noise? What do I do with the cool air they put out?)
• Heat pump clothes dryers (What are these all in one washers + heat pump dryers?)
• Solar energy and battery storage (Is solar right for my home? Are batteries worth it? How much electric backup can I get from them?)
• Electric fireplaces – (What are different options available? Do the flames really come in different colors?)
• Electrical capacity upgrades – (Can my panel handle these upgrades?)
• And more . . .

Whether you’re looking to make one small change or map out a whole-home transformation, the Quitline can help you identify your next steps. You don’t have to do it all at once, but you can get started today.

Why Get Off Gas?

Natural gas is a major source of indoor air pollution, climate-warming methane emissions, and health risks, especially for kids and people with respiratory issues. Moving toward electric appliances is one of the most effective ways to reduce your home’s impact on the climate and improve indoor air quality.
