Gas or Electric?

Bundeena Community Centre, 2pm - 4pm, 10 November 2024

Rising energy prices are a huge part of current cost of living pressures. Next time you need to replace or upgrade your hot water system, space heating or cooking appliances you'll be making a choice that will impact your energy bills for many years to come. Should you replace like for like, or are there a better, cheaper alternatives?

If you use any gas appliances, this is a particularly pressing question. The future of domestic gas use is under question, with governments throughout Australia considering bans on new mains gas installations, spiralling costs, and rapidly developing new electric technologies.

Our Gas or Electric event covered all the pros and cons, so that next time you need to make a choice you can make a well informed one.

WHAT WAS COVERED:

• What is the likely future for gas and electricity prices?

• What are the implications of new and pending goverment policies on gas use?

• How do gas and electric appliances compare in terms of:

  • ease of use

  • purchase cost

  • running costs

  • carbon emmissions

  • fire safety

  • health impacts

• What are the best options for cooking, hot water and space heating?
