Let’s be honest: most households aren’t going to rip out perfectly good appliances tomorrow.
If your gas cooker or heater still works, it’s natural to keep using it.
But here’s the shift we’re asking you to think about:
Next time something needs replacing, choose electric.
One appliance at a time. No pressure to do it all at once.

Electrifying your home isn’t just about the future - it can make a real difference to your bills. Why?
Because electric appliances are far more efficient and when you pair them with solar, your energy gets even cheaper.
Here’s what the savings can look like in practice:
Gas appliances - especially in the kitchen - release pollutants into your home.
Switching to electric means:
Most of Australia’s emissions come from burning fossil fuels for energy - things like cars, heaters, hot water systems and stoves.
A big chunk of that comes from our homes.
The good news? We can do something about it.
By switching to efficient electric appliances and powering them with clean electricity, households can dramatically cut their emissions.
There’s no point sugar-coating it: electrifying your home can cost money upfront.
There are rebates and subsidies available, but they don’t always cover everything.
That’s why the goal isn’t to do it all today. When it dies, electrify!
You don’t need a full renovation plan.
Just keep this in mind:
Each step:
And when millions of households do the same thing?
That’s how real change happens.
You don’t need a full renovation plan.
Electrifying your home is:
You don’t have to do everything at once.
Just start with the next decision.
