Home Efficiency Group

At HEG, we typically advocate for an all-electric & efficient appliances household so that you can benefit from generating, storing and operating with electricity i.e. you can't use solar power to offset a wood heater or an instant gas hot water system, but you can of you used a solar battery system to run a reverse cycle air conditioner and a heat pump hot water system.

This case study from Victoria is interesting as it factors in real world examples, including the purchase of electric vehicles and loan capital and interest repayments for the energy efficiency investments.

The small tourist town of Yackandandah, or Yack, in Victoria's north-east has taken the renewable energy transition into its own hands.

About 68 per cent of rooftops in the town now have solar installed, with residents reducing their power bills by 62 per cent on average, according to Totally Renewable Yackandandah co-founder Matt Charles-Jones.

He says the upfront cost of installing a solar and battery system, which costs around $15,000 after the federal government's battery rebate, remains a significant barrier for some households.

Across Australia, households living in fully electrified homes spend, on average, $4,100 less each year than those still running on gas appliances and a petrol vehicle, according to a 2025 Rewiring Australia report.
