Why go all electric?

Electric homes are better for your wallet, your health
and the climate.

How to electrify your home

The Electric Homes Program aims to assist you in making your home more comfortable and to reduce your energy bills.

Electrifying your home means to replace your gas appliances with efficient electric alternatives now or as they reach their end of life. Install solar panels and a battery so you can power your electric home with free, renewable solar power. Complete the transition with an electric vehicle charger. 

Express your interest in the program and speak to one of our trusted delivery partners to find the right solution for you and your home. If you’re unsure where to start, a great first step is a Home Energy Audit where a professional auditor will be able to gather information on your home and help you prioritise ways to improve your energy efficiency and reduce energy costs.

Why go all electric?

Better for the climate 

Gas is a fossil fuel, mostly made up of methane, which is a key driver of climate change. Switching from fossil fuels to renewables like solar is essential if we are to meet our net-zero targets.

Reducing our reliance on gas can also help to stop new fossil fuel projects from being built, because it sends a signal to the market that future gas supply isn’t necessary.

Better for your health 

Studies have found that cooking with gas can contribute to childhood asthma. What’s more, gas ducted heating produces poorer air quality than a split system heater, which is also safer and cheaper to run.
