Move from gas-powered systems
Transitioning away from gas-powered systems poses a challenge for governments and individuals. However, it doesn’t have to be hard, and delaying in taking action will only exacerbate the issue.
According to recent findings, households that rely on gas for heating, cooking, and hot water might encounter substantial bill hikes amounting to $1900 within the next two years.
So what needs to be done?
- Replace your gas hot water with an electric heat pump, electric hot water system or instantaneous hot water units
- Replace your gas cooktop with an induction cooktop
- Replace your gas oven with an electric oven
- Stop using gas heating – Heating using reverse cycle air con – It is recommended to utilise an available air-conditioning unit. Locate the designated heat function on the device, as it offers a cost-effective means of getting warm.
The Steps to Move
Energy-efficient homes that solely rely on electricity, supplemented by solar power, will experience relatively modest increases ranging from $550 to $741.
Given this, if you are interested in transitioning from gas to an all-electric system, you may wonder about the initial steps to take, the associated expenses, the implications for renters, and any potential drawbacks.
Advantages of electric over gas
The decision to transition to electric power sources is primarily driven by environmental concerns, with an underlying motivation to contribute towards mitigating climate change.
Another advantage that arises from this shift is the potential for significant financial savings. This is evident through the noticeable reduction in utility bills, which serves as a welcomed bonus.

Why do we need to convert to electric over gas appliances?
Converting to electric appliances is highly beneficial.
Electric appliances are generally more energy-efficient than gas appliances. This means that they consume less energy, resulting in lower electricity bills and reduced environmental impact.
Electric appliances do not produce any emissions or pollutants during operation, contributing to cleaner air and better indoor air quality. Additionally, electric appliances are safer to use as they do not involve combustion or the risk of gas leaks.
With the increasing availability of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, using electric appliances allows for a greener and more sustainable energy consumption.
Converting to electric appliances is a step towards a more environmentally-friendly and efficient lifestyle.
