Video: Tour an all-electric home with Ald. Andre Vasquez
Real estate agent Wayne Beals recently took Alderperson Andre Vasquez (40th Ward) on a tour of a new construction all-electric house in the Woodlawn neighborhood of Chicago. It was built by the same company, Greenline Homes, as the house tour I co-hosted with Wayne and the Climate Action Museum in February.
In this 8-minute video of their tour, Vasquez asks how electric houses are heated, gets to see the swap-in heat pump water heater, learns about the heat pump condensing dryer, and the two check out the outdoor heat pump heating and cooling unit. The developer, Benjamin van Horne also pops in to explain how he transitioned from developing gas-powered houses to electric-only houses.
After watching it, check out the 40th Ward website for home electrification resources and benefits of all-electric homes.
The address is not being shared but if you want to do some armchair house shopping you can check out the listing for another Greenline house that has identical features.
