"Earlier this month, regulators flagged power price rises in Queensland, New
South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. Like many people, you’re probably
wondering how you can minimise the financial pain.
Getting rid of gas and electrifying everything in your home can save you money.
Modelling by not-for-profit organisation Renew showed annual bills last year
for a seven-star all-electric home with solar power were between 69% (Western
Sydney) and 83% (Hobart) cheaper than bills for a three-star home with gas
appliances and no solar.
There are other reasons to kick the gas habit, too. As renewables form an
ever-growing part of Australia’s energy mix, electrifying the home increasingly
helps tackle climate change. What’s more, there are sound health reasons to get
rid of gas appliances.
But where do you start? And how do you get the best bang for your buck? Here, I
offer a few tips."
