Three ways to go electric
Electric appliances
Going from gas to electric could save an estimated $750 a year in energy bills - more if you're switching from LPG appliances.*
Solar panels
Generate your own power by installing rooftop solar on your home. It could pay for itself in just 5-7 years.*
Electric vehicles
Choosing an EV instead of a petrol vehicle could save about $2,000 a year in running costs, and more if you have solar.*
