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
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
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]
