Power up to electric

Session four: heating and cooling

Choosing the right heating and cooling at home can reduce your energy bills

Keeping warm in winter and cool in summer accounts for around 40% of home energy use - and a significant portion of your household energy bill.

The SEC’s Power up sessions return on 16 July to explore how you can reduce your energy bills by choosing the right heating and cooling for your home.

You can hear from the experts on options for heating and cooling, how much you can save when you switch to electric, available rebates, and things to consider or ask your installer.

Marcella Palma, head of operations at Goodbye Gas, will talk about options for heating and cooling your home, how to choose the right system for your needs, and indicative costs and rebates.

You can also submit questions during the session.

About Power up

The transition to renewable energy is on and more Victorians are switching their homes to electric. Electric homes are cheaper to run, healthier to live in, and better for the planet.

The SEC runs online public information sessions that offer expert advice to support Victorians at all stages of going electric.

These sessions help households understand the benefits of home energy improvements.

Now’s the time to go electric. Make the switch.
