Benefits of Gas vs Electric Heating

Keeping your home comfortably cosy through the chill of winter whilst avoiding high energy bills is a balancing act that raises the question of whether to choose gas or electric heating.

Given that heating and cooling amounts to approximately 23 percent of Australian household energy use[1], homeowners need to consider their home heating requirements and choose a system that delivers the right amount of warmth to avoid energy wastage and bill shock.

Gas heating is cheaper and kinder to the environment than electricity, generating around one-third of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions.

Additionally gas copes easily with heating large spaces quickly; and can reduce heating bills by up to 60 percent.[2]
