Heating and cooling in Stanford homes
About 67% of Stanford homes heat with electricity, such as a heat pump or electric furnace, and about 32% with natural gas. The median home was built in 1978. With that much electric heat, aux heat setup and a fall heating tune-up make a real difference to how the house feels and what the electric bill looks like in January.
