Why Australians are Replacing Gas with Electric

Switching from gas to electric systems especially high efficiency reverse cycle air conditioners and heat pump technology delivers:

Lower energy bills: Reverse cycle heat pumps typically use 50 to 70% less energy than a comparable gas water heater.
Reduced carbon footprint: No onsite combustion means zero carbon monoxide risk and fewer greenhouse gases.
One system, year round comfort: Reverse cycle air conditioning units heat in winter and cool in summer, so you can retire that old gas wall or ducted heater and window A/C together.
Future proofing: Gas prices are rising; electricity is increasingly renewable. Moving now protects you from future fuel cost shocks.
