Why Electrify?
Save money over time
Electric appliances are typically more efficient than gas. When paired with solar PV to produce free energy, many households can reduce their energy bills — and avoid rising gas prices altogether.
Future-proof your property
Under Net Zero goverment policies, Australia is moving away from gas. Many electrification initiatives can be implemented simply, providing a home that’s cheaper to run, and attractive to both buyers and renters.
What Does “Electrifying Your Home” Mean?
Electrifying your home simply means running appliances on electricity instead of gas. Same comforts. Latest technology.
Common Upgrades to Electrify Your Home
Most homes already use electricity — electrification just means using it for everything.
Gas heating → Reverse-cycle air conditioning
Replace gas heaters with a reverse-cycle air conditioning system. Reverse-cycle units provide both heating and cooling and can be significantly more energy-efficient than traditional gas heating.
Gas hot water → Electric storage or Heat pump
Switch from a gas hot water system to an electric storage (with timer) or a heat pump. Heat pumps are highly efficient and use renewable heat energy to heat water while reducing energy consumption and emissions. Electric water heaters are a great thermal battery when paired with a timer and solar sponge tariffs.
Gas cooktop → Induction cooktop
Upgrade from a gas cooktop to an induction cooktop. Induction cooking uses electricity to heat cookware directly, offering faster heating, improved safety, and better energy efficiency.
Petrol car → Electric vehicle
Transition from a petrol vehicle to an electric vehicle (EV). EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions and can significantly reduce running costs. They make even more sense when charging is handled by renewable electricity.
You Don’t Have to Do It All at Once
Most Australian households electrify gradually, replacing appliances when they reach the end of their life.
There’s no need for a big renovation or upfront overhaul.
One upgrade at a time is enough.
