How do cleaning businesses handle gas blower bans and cover the cost of switching to electric?
Portland started a gas blower ban effective January 1st, 2026. Has anyone experienced similar bans in other cities? How long did it take for business around you to comply? We've an added an additional percentage to any service that require using an electric blower, to cover the higher upfront cost to use. Have you done something similar? Or have you covered the cost in other ways? How did your clients respond?
