In today's episode of The Build Show, Jordan Smith of Smith House in Austin, Texas, takes us to Monarch Woods, a cutting-edge all-electric build in the heart of oil and gas country. Jordan explores how electrification isn't just for the environmentally conscious—it’s a smart path to energy independence. He highlights how this home leverages a 40-kilowatt Tesla solar roof and six Powerwall 3s to operate nearly 100% off-grid, often sending power back to the grid. From energy-efficient lighting to an induction range and heat pump water heating, every system in the house is electric—designed for maximum efficiency and sustainability. Jordan dives into the technical and practical benefits of induction cooking, debunking myths and explaining how it supports whole-home electrification. With thoughtful design and advanced technology, this build proves that going all-electric can be high-performing, cost-effective, and forward-thinking—even in oil country.
