The ordinance requires that no methane gas or propane plumbing is installed in new buildings, and that electricity be used as the energy source for water heating, space heating, cooking, and clothes drying appliances.

On February 11th, 2020 San Mateo County unanimously approved an all-electric reach code, one of the strongest codes in the region!
