At Greentastic Pty Ltd, we believe in helping homeowners move toward a cleaner, more energy-efficient future. Electrifying your home doesn’t just cut down on fossil fuel use—it also lowers your energy bills and boosts comfort. But where should you start?
Here’s a breakdown of the Top 5 appliances to electrify first for the biggest environmental impact and maximum savings.
🔌 1. Electric Cooktops (Induction Stoves)
Say goodbye to gas stoves and welcome sleek, efficient induction cooktops. They heat faster, provide precise temperature control, and are safer for families with kids. Plus, they eliminate indoor air pollutants associated with gas cooking.
✅ Benefits:
- Faster and more efficient cooking
- Improved indoor air quality
- Easy to clean and maintain
🌡 2. Hot Water Heat Pump Systems
Heating water is one of the biggest energy expenses in Australian homes. A heat pump hot water system uses up to 70% less electricity than a traditional electric or gas water heater.
✅ Benefits:
- Eligible for VEU rebates
- Significant annual savings
- Works efficiently even in colder climates
❄️ 3. Reverse Cycle Air Conditioners (Heating & Cooling)
These all-in-one systems keep you warm in winter and cool in summer, using electricity far more efficiently than gas heaters or older air con units.
✅ Benefits:
- Dual-purpose system
- Reduced energy consumption
- Eligible for government incentives
🔋 4. Solar Batteries
Already have solar panels? Add a battery! Solar batteries let you store unused energy generated during the day for use at night—cutting your dependence on the grid and rising energy prices.
✅ Benefits:
- Power backup during outages
