Heating Your Home This Winter: Comfort, Sustainability and Savings

Australia is slowly getting colder, we are experiencing more rain, heavy winds and we are wanting to stay warm, especially in our own homes!

Running your air conditioning during winter to stay warm as the temperature starts to dip is a very smart choice, not only does your AC provides powerful heating solutions but you can also gain maximum efficiency if your AC system is used correctly! The current craze in Australia now is completely cutting off gas to your home and going fully and entirely electric! The great news is that the average New South Wales household can possibly save up to $924* per year when going completely electric!

 

Did you know that you can connect your existing AC system to your solar panels? No matter what system you have, old or new, you can save the big bucks when it comes to your energy bill!

Here are a few benefits:

As the cost of electricity rises, us Australians are looking for ways to reduce our energy bills and having your AC run off your solar panels is one option that can help reduce your energy bills by a significant amount, but wait! You can SAVE even more $$ off your energy bills by completely cutting off all fossil fuels. Australia’s coal and gas fired power plants are ageing rapidly and are really struggling to keep up with this current increased winter energy demand and the Australian energy prices will just continue to soar higher and higher. We have been warned that millions of Australian homeowners and households are facing massive spikes in their energy bills…and we do not know when that will end*.

When you mix sunlight with energy, only good things happen and if you want to completely future proof your home then start today! Lets start with your AC!

Lets get one thing straight, WE ARE NOT CONSIDERING GAS HEATING! Gas is not cheap, and it is definitely not healthy for you or your family within the household! Gas prices are predicted to rise 40%** over the next two years and poses many, MANY health risks. Did you know that a child that is living with gas cooking and appliances faces a very comparable risk of asthma as a child who is living within a household of cigarette smoke.***

 

Going completely gas free and Solar power are a very clean and renewable source of energy. When using your AC when connected to your solar panels you will be reducing your carbon footprint and staying warm all winter! The combination of using AC, solar power, and cutting off all gas appliances will reduce your carbon emissions which contributes to our environment and promotes sustainability!

Heating, hot water and cooking are the three leading gas energy users in your home, and you can change that by choosing a more efficient electric appliance to replace these greenhouse gas emissions.

Have you ever heard of a Reverse-cycle air conditioner? Reverse-cycle air conditioning refers to a refrigeration cycle that can provide both heating and cooling solutions for your home! This process is completed by reversing the refrigeration cycle so that the system can heat in winter and can also cool in Summer! This is a great option to heat your home during winter, which also allows you to save money on your energy bills and lets your home go gas free! What more could you want?

By cutting off all gas and having your AC energy generated by your solar panels, you as the homeowner can reduce your reliance on traditional energy sources and increase your energy independence and resilience, especially if there is a power outage or any grid disruptions. Your AC when connected to your solar power provides reliable energy sources independent from grid fluctuations, ensuring uninterrupted comfort!

The connection between cutting off gas, solar power and your AC creates a perfect balance of comfort and sustainability! You can enjoy efficient and eco-friendly heating solutions while reducing your energy bill costs and your carbon footprint by staying warm all winter long!
