Hi neighbors,
Our non-profit, Acterra, is hosting a free self-guided tour of electrified homes across Contra Costa and Alameda counties, with several homes in and around Walnut Creek. It’s a great opportunity to see how people in our area are making the switch from gas to clean electric living.
The tour takes place on Saturday, June 6 from 11 AM to 3 PM You can RSVP and find more details here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/east-bay-greenhome-tour-2026-registration-1982929633914?aff=Reddit
During the tour, you’ll be able to walk through real homes and learn about upgrades like heat pumps, induction cooktops, EV chargers, solar and battery systems, as well as things like rainwater capture and composting. Even more valuable, homeowners will be there to share their experiences—what the process was like, how they chose appliances and contractors, and how they navigated rebates and tax credits to make it more affordable.
Homes on the tour range from newer construction to older homes transitioning away from gas, so whether you’re just starting to explore or actively planning upgrades, it’s a helpful and low-pressure way to get ideas and ask questions.
Hope to see you there!
