# Is it better to have an all-electric home?

## Yes. All-electric homes are cleaner, smarter, and have lower running costs than equivalent multi-fuel homes.

As a general rule, yes. For many reasons, all-electric homes are cleaner, cheaper, and smarter than multi-fuel homes. So if you have a petrol or diesel vehicle, are connected to the gas grid, or have a wood fireplace, you should consider electrifying them all.
