Heating and cooling
Electric reverse cycle split systems are considered the cheapest, most energy efficient, lowest emissions heating and cooling option.
How can they help you save money and reduce emissions?
Escalating energy costs means our energy bills have been increasing. Using efficient, electric-powered reverse cycle air-conditioners (RCACs) enables households and businesses to save money as they are about a third of the cost of heating with gas. The cost savings from RCACs can be further improved if you have a rooftop solar system.
Research by Environment Victoria estimates households can save $700/year by switching from gas to efficient electric heating and up to $1,795/year if homes are made energy efficient and install rooftop solar.
Using less energy from the grid and swapping from gas-powered heating to electric systems powered by renewable energy reduces CO2 emissions.
