Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the gas daily supply charge?
The gas daily supply charge ranges from $0.80 to $1.00 per day depending on your state — that's $290-$365 per year just for the privilege of being connected, before you use a single MJ of gas. This is the "hidden winner" of going all-electric.
Is induction cooking better than gas?
Induction is faster, more efficient, and produces no indoor air pollution. It heats a 2L pot of water in about 4 minutes vs 8 minutes for gas. Running costs are similar or lower than gas. The main adjustment is needing induction-compatible cookware (anything a magnet sticks to).
Can I disconnect gas myself?
No — gas disconnection must be done by a licensed gasfitter and your gas distributor. There's typically a disconnection fee of $100-$300. Some states require a formal application. Your gas retailer will process the final bill and account closure.
What about winter heating without gas?
Reverse cycle air conditioning (heat pumps) are 3-6x more efficient than gas heating. A good reverse cycle system can heat your home for less than half the cost of gas ducted heating, even in cold climates like Melbourne or Canberra.
