Try out electric lawn tools for yourself before you buy! Test electric lawn tools courtesy of Visser Ace Hardware and Westcore Neighbors Toolshare at the Expo including leaf blowers and snowblowers.

What is Beneficial Electrification?
Beneficial Electrification is switching from gas-powered appliances, tools and vehicles to electric versions when it makes sense to do so. Some items that can be electrified include cars, lawn tools like mowers or leaf blowers, home heating systems, water heaters, clothes dryers and ovens. Using electric tools and appliances instead of gas-powered reduces on-site carbon emissions, requires less maintenance, doesn’t have unpleasant smells, and is less noisy and generally cheaper to run.
Some rebate items under this category include:
- Leaf Blowers ($25 rebate + $25 recycled gas tool bonus)
- Snowblowers ($50 rebate + $100 recycled gas tool bonus)
- Load Management Device ($300 rebate)
- Heat Pumps (up to $1,000 per ton rebate)
- Electric Panels ($1,000 rebate)
