We’re gathering community feedback to better understand what factors influence residents when considering upgrading from a gas stove to an electric or induction stovetop. Your input will help us identify common barriers, understand customer needs, and improve future programs and incentives.

The survey asks about topics such as cooking habits, home type, awareness of electrification programs, and what incentives might make switching easier.

Your responses will help us shape future rebate programs and outreach efforts to better serve the Santa Clara community.

This survey was created in partnership with the Silicon Valley Power Sustainable Futures Program.

Thank you for your participation.
