New York State has temporarily paused the All-Electric Buildings Act, which would have limited most new homes from including natural gas systems starting in 2026. While this pause gives homeowners some breathing room, it is only temporary, and the law could go into effect once legal and regulatory reviews are complete.

At Forbes Capretto Homes, we know that many of our clients value the comfort, efficiency, and convenience of gas heating and appliances. From warm, cozy gas fireplaces to high-performance stoves and water heaters, gas systems remain a popular choice for creating a home that truly feels like yours.

If you’re planning to build a new home, this temporary pause is a critical window of opportunity. Acting now ensures you can secure your plans and permits with gas options before the law takes effect. Our team will guide you through the process, helping you design a home that fits your lifestyle while protecting your ability to include the features you want most.

Don’t wait — this pause is temporary, and the opportunity to build with gas may close soon. At Forbes Capretto Homes, we’re here to make sure your dream home has the comfort, style, and features you’ve always wanted.
