ELECTRIFY EVERYTHING

2024
Electrify
Everything

What does it mean & what's the value?

Electrify Everything is a planned process for you as a householder to gradually upgrade or replace inefficient electric and all gas appliances with modern energy-efficient replacements. You will be able to make best use of your solar PV, or your Green Power, and a battery. You might also consider changing from your petrol or diesel car to an EV.

Electrify Everything for healthy, safe, future

Be part of a clean energy future by moving your home to all-electric.

Heating, cooling, hot water, cooking, bicycles & cars – all-electric is healthy and clean to run.

Everyone can enjoy the performance leaps electric appliances have taken over the past few years. That’s cheaper heating, cooling, hot water and cooking.

And it doesn’t have to be all at once. Take time to prepare so that when appliances, like hot water, need replacing, you’re ready to make the switch.

Move to renewable electricity for clean air and a safe choice for your household.

If it takes 6 months or 6 years. Make a plan to go all-electric.

5 THINGS YOU CAN DO

Here’s an introduction to the Inner West Community Energy process for helping Inner West households go solar.

Reverse cycle air conditioners are the most cost-effective way to heat and cool your home.

An electric heat pump is the most efficient way to produce hot water. If you combine it with rooftop solar, it will cost you next to nothing to run. Generous government rebates are also available.

Induction cooktops are safer than gas, more efficient in terms of energy use and very cost effective.

Electric appliances, a simple choice, big impact.

We need 100 million new electric machines, and we’ve got 17 budgets to get it right.

Australia has 10 million households, and these households are likely buy 100 million machines over the next two decades – cars, heaters, and cookers. If the country is to have any chance of reaching zero emissions by 2040, the new reality for a 1.5°C climate target, then all those new machines need to be electric.

That is the clear message from Rewiring Australia chief scientist and electrification evangelist Saul Griffith, and pretty much everyone else speaking at the Smart Energy conference in Sydney last week.

There is so much focus on big wind, solar and storage projects, and major transmission projects, that the household and the decisions made there often get overlooked.

And yet, Griffith points out, 42 per cent of Australia’s emissions come from the decisions made around the dining table, and another 29 per cent of the country’s emissions come from small businesses whose owners likely eat at that same table.

Reverse cycle air conditioners are the most
cost-effective way to heat and cool your home.

Typically, they use just 25-30% of the energy required by conventional gas or electric systems. If you power your reverse cycle air conditioner with solar or with Greenpower it is also a no-guilt zero emissions way to heat your home.

Heat pumps can cut your energy costs by up to 90% through a smart use of the laws of physics

Heat pumps are becoming all the rage around a world that has to slash carbon emissions rapidly while cutting energy costs. They replace space heating and water heating – and provide cooling as a bonus.

A heat pump extracts heat from outside, concentrates it (using an electric compressor) to raise the temperature, and pumps the heat to where it is needed. Indeed, millions of Australian homes already have heat pumps in the form of refrigerators and reverse-cycle air conditioners bought for cooling. They can heat as well, and save a lot of money compared with other forms of heating!
