No, you don’t need solar to electrify your home. You can switch to electric appliances and systems like induction cooktops, heat pumps and electric hot water which tend to be cheaper to run than gas equivalents.

However, solar can multiply the benefits of electrification by allowing you to power electric appliances and reduce your electricity bills. We can help connect you with some solar and battery solutions, take a look.

The cost to electrify your home will vary depending on the size of your home, which systems you’re looking to upgrade and the new appliances you choose.

You’ll need to factor in the cost of replacing any gas heating, hot water and cooking appliances and the labour involved in making the switch.

Rebates and incentives can significantly lower the upfront cost, so it’s worth looking into what’s available in your area.

Goodbye Gas can get you started on your electrification journey with an audit and custom plan for less than $200. You also don’t have to electrify everything all at once – it's okay to do it gradually, one upgrade at a time.

Electrifying your home and owning an EV can be a powerful combo! For starters, charging your EV at home with off-peak electricity is usually cheaper than petrol. The benefits only compound with the addition of a solar system and battery. Lowering your bills, reducing carbon emissions and making the most of the solar you make.
