Australia is on the path to a cleaner, more sustainable future, and many households in Hornsby and the North Shore have already made the move away from gas. With the national goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050, Australians are encouraged to switch to electric appliances, including their cooktops. It’s a simple and practical step that can reduce carbon emissions and lower energy bills and future proof your home.
Australia is phasing out gas
The Australian and state governments are encouraging households and businesses to shift from gas to electric appliances. This is largely because electricity can now be generated from renewable sources like solar and wind while gas is a limited resource and a fossil fuel that releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants.
In fact, states like Victoria and the ACT have already introduced policies that limit gas connections in new homes. So if it’s time to update your gas top/ oven, switch to electric and future proof your home.
Benefits of switching to electric
Replacing your gas cooktop with an electric one comes with some great benefits:
- Cleaner and greener: Electric cooking eliminates the emissions from gas burners and contributes to a healthier, more sustainable home.
- Energy efficient: Induction cooktops, in particular, are incredibly efficient; heating food faster while using less energy.
- Safer to use: No open flames, no gas leaks, just smooth surfaces and reliable heat.
- Modern look and feel: Electric cooktops come in sleek, stylish designs that suit any modern kitchen.
