Project: Electrification Contractor List

Logo for the nonprofit ElectrifyDC

Help Build a Regional Resource for Home Electrification

The Electrify DC Contractor List project is an open-source initiative we’re building in collaboration with Electrify DC to support the transition to cleaner, more efficient homes across the DMV region. By creating a high-visibility, searchable list of vetted contractors, we’re empowering homeowners to find trusted professionals for their efficiency and electrification projects.

Why this matters

Buildings account for about 75% of DC’s total final emissions, with residential buildings making up a third of that. Electrifying our homes is a critical step in reducing these emissions, but many residents struggle to find qualified contractors who understand modern, sustainable technologies. Our goal is to bridge that gap.
