End-to-end support for home energy upgrades from a registered charity
How we help you
We’re a registered charity that supports you from start to finish with home energy upgrades. We work with you to understand your goals, connect you with a trusted installer, and stay with you until the job is done. See how it works
Solar and batteries
Rooftop solar turns sunlight into electricity and pays for itself over time through lower power bills. A home battery stores your spare solar for the evening, overnight or a blackout.
Hot water heat pumps
Heating water is one of the biggest energy uses in the home. A heat pump moves heat from the air into your tank, making it four to five times more efficient than conventional electric or gas hot water, and very cheap to run.
Heating and cooling
Reverse-cycle air conditioning is one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool your home, and it can replace gas heating. The main options are split, multi-split and ducted systems.
EV charging
Charging at home is convenient and cheaper than public charging, especially with rooftop solar. The right Level 2 charger depends on your car’s maximum charging rate and your home’s power supply.
Induction cooktops
Induction cooktops are fast, precise and easy to clean, and the best practical replacement for a gas cooktop. They need their own dedicated circuit, so it pays to check your switchboard and benchtop cut-out first.
Get off gas
Replace your gas appliances with efficient electric ones at your own pace, then disconnect from the gas network when you no longer need it. Planning the order ahead avoids rushed decisions.
