The all-electric home

Going ‘all-electric’ means running your home on electricity and moving away from gas.

Replace your gas appliances with modern, energy-efficient electric alternatives.

Heat pumps use much less power than gas or electric storage water heaters, making them an eco-friendly option.

Induction cooktops

Induction cooktops heat quickly, clean easily, and are more energy efficient than gas or electric hotplate stoves.

Reverse cycle split systems use heat pump technology to heat and cool your home, making them a highly efficient alternative to gas heating.

Save on electricity with solar panels

Solar panels generate energy for you, which means lower energy bills and a more sustainable future.

Solar power, even at night

No more use it or lose it solar energy – batteries store the energy you generate during the day, so you can use it later.

More solar, less carbon

Every bit of solar energy you store and use reduces your dependence on fossil fuels and contributes to a smaller carbon footprint.
