Electrification

Heating and Cooling Solutions

Heating and cooling are an important part of living comfortably through the year. On The Sunshine Coast, we enjoy a mainly moderate climate. However, it does get quite cool in winter and our summers can be notoriously hot and humid. In this brief article, we look at heating and cooling through the lens of Electrification, with the goal of creating a more sustainable and Energy Efficient approach to heating and cooling at home.

Electrification

Electrification is the switch to use electrical appliances and transportation, powered by clean, renewable electricity. Electrification is a move away from fossil fuelled power sources. 

Heating, Cooling & Electrification

Heating and cooling can be achieved via Electrification with the following steps:

  1. Using a clean, renewable energy source (e.g. solar energy)
  2. Using electrical appliances
  3. Optimising usage to maximise the advantage of energy

Heating and Cooling Solutions

Heating and cooling can be electrically achieved by a reverse-cycle air-conditioner, powered by solar energy. With the ability to heat and cool built into a single unit, reverse-cycle air-conditioners enable internal temperature modulation utilising electricity. If the electricity is sourced from clean, renewable energy (such as solar energy) then heating and cooling is being achieved in an Electrified manner.

101 Million Machines Away From Zero Emissions

Electricity and electrification is the efficiency we’ve been looking for. Inventor, author and founder of Rewiring Australia Dr Saul Griffith shares his vision to Electrify everything with The Big Switch. Saul talks through the 101 million machines within Australian homes and businesses that need to be electrified in the next 20 years that will lead us into a clean energy future.

Saul’s mission is to get clean electrification, eliminate all emissions, reduce cost of living and improve the health of all Australians. Saul is an inventor, author, and successful entrepreneur. He has led dozens of research projects in energy, robotics, and manufacturing and founded and co-founded multiple successful companies. In 2007 he was awarded a Macarthur Fellowship, the so-called ‘Genius Grant’, for inventions in the service of humanity. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Cooking & Hot Water

The Electrification process involves two main stages: sourcing energy from a clean, renewable source (such as solar) and using it to power electrical appliances and machines. If you’re using gas-powered hot water or cooktops at home, in order to achieve Electrification these will need to be replaced with electrical versions. Our licensed and qualified electricians are here to help with this process.

It Starts with Solar

Regardless of the changes you are making at home towards Electrification, the first step is ensuring you are using energy from a clean, renewable source. Solar power is the best way to achieve that for Sunshine Coast households. Talk to our team to get a free consultation and quote for solar on your rooftop.

Switching Hot Water from Gas to Electric

The energy for hot water can come from a renewable source

We all love hot water – it’s an essential aspect of any modern household. Hot water provides comfort, hygiene, and efficiency, enabling warm showers, effective cleaning, and sanitised dishes. It’s essential for daily tasks, promotes health by killing bacteria, and enhances quality of life in homes and workplaces alike.

While hot water can be created in a variety of ways, the main methods used by modern homes on the Sunshine Coast is by either an electric or gas-heated system. Under the view of electrification, an electric heated system is preferable since it means that potentially the heat source does not require fossil fuels in order to operate. However, this depends on where your electricity is actually sourced from. A solar solution ensures that renewable energy is the source of your electricity, and that you’re cooking with clean energy.

If you’d like to update your solar power solution, or update your old gas hot water system to electric, contact us for more information.

Switching Cooktop from Gas to Electric

Induction cooktop – more control & cleaner

Switching from a gas-powered cooktop to an electrical cooktop such as induction cooktop is a critical part of the Electrification journey. Again, the primary purpose is to move away from fossil-fuel energy sources and the carbon emissions that they create, towards electrical appliances which are powered by clean, renewable energy. There are also other benefits including energy efficiency – the electrical heat process is more efficient, involving less energy loss than gas cooking. Electric cooktops also offer more precise control in the cooking process than their gas counterparts. There is also a health consideration – by taking gas out of homes for cooking, health and emissions risks are reduced. [SRC: abc.net.au]
