There are 6 decisions to make over the next 10 years.
Heating and cooling: This is the biggest consumer of energy for households. Switching to a reverse cycle air conditioning system (RCAC) improves air quality at home and uses one-third to one-quarter of the energy of gas systems.
​
Hot water: Electric hot water heat pumps use only 25 – 33% of the energy of gas or electric alternatives.
​​
​Induction cooktops: improve indoor air quality and offer a more efficient, faster, cleaner cooking option.
​
Rooftop solar: Over its lifetime rooftop solar costs about 3 cents per kWh, cheaper than any other source of home energy.
​
Home Battery: Store excess electricity generated by solar panels during the day then use at night or when the sun isn’t shining.
​
​Electric Transport: EVs are growing in popularity in Australia due to their low maintenance and running costs, low carbon emissions, low noise and long life.
