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.

Find out more at our Gas or Electric event, so that next time you need to make a choice you can make a well informed one.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

Also in the Pipeline for 2024/25


Household Energy Efficiency. 

Do you cook with gas and wonder if there might be a cleaner, equally convenient option? Did you know that installing LED lighting can significantly reduce your electricity bill? Could changing the way you heat or cool your house reduce your fossil fuel use or create a healthier atmosphere in your living room? These and other questions will be discussed in this meeting about running our houses more efficiently.


Conversations about Electrification. 

At the beginning of the Electrify Bundeena project we flagged the possibility of providing free home consultations for residents interested in electrifying their homes. Unfortunately, we simply haven't had the resources to do those home visits, so we're now inviting you to visit us! Members of the Electrify Bundeena steering committee will provide “tea and biscuits” in an informal setting in which to engage in conversations about any/all aspects of electrification. This is a great opportunity to chat with experts, hear first hand from other Bundeena residents who are already on the path to full electrification, and ask questions about which options might work best for you.
