How to Electrify Your Home
Solar Panels
The size of the system you require may be greatly impacted by first electrifying your home.
Hot Water
You can greatly improve your home energy efficiency by replacing your gas hot water unit with an electric heat pump hot water system.
Space Heating & Cooling
You can improve your energy efficiency by switching your gas heater to a reverse cycle split system.
Cooking
Replace gas stoves and ovens with more energy efficient units like induction cooktops and pyrolytic ovens.
Batteries
By investing in solar battery systems it enables the energy from your solar panels to be stored and released as needed.
Lighting
There are state government subsidies available to switch to LED lighting in your home.
Hydronic Heat Pumps
Using energy-efficient hydronic heating systems significantly reduces energy consumption while keeping your entire home warm.
