@koosli@aus.social moved to Melbourne from Queensland in 2023 and could not believe the heating bills. We changed the ducted gas heating to electric, then got solar panels, then changed to an electric water heater, then changed the gas cooktop. Expensive, but it didn't feel like throwing money away, which is the feeling you get from paying bills. Poorly insulated 80s house with terrible windows still meant we fell short of "cosy".

@koosli@aus.social I converted my place to completely electric before I moved, but no longer in Victoria

@koosli@aus.social We converted fully last year. When the gas heater broke I wasn't replacing it with anything but electric. Of course since then Jemena are constantly doing "upgrade works" which means no electricity for 5 or 6 hours at a time and I get looks from partner... The dream is to get solar panels up but got to fix the roof leaks first 😐
