    I prefer cooking on gas (I’m old! so what!), yes I know induction has become a lot better lately. But I renovated my kitchen (myself) about 5 years ago, so nothing is changing in there. My BBQ will also stay gas, but I might switch back to LPG bottles from the servo instead of natural gas.

    My gas hot water is where the most of that bill comes from (our country has limited “fees” unlike other countries, and they have to detail all of them, and they get railed if they are bullshit). I am already getting quotes for instant on, electric hot water.

    For 6 months of the year my Solar Panels absolutely rock, providing 30A 240V during the day, which means my entire home is grid free powered, even with my reverse cycle AC on full blast during Australia’s hottest times.

    Solar Panels literally dropped my monthly electricity bill from $600+ per month, to $250 per month (for 6 months) the other 6 months are not so dramatic, but still they help.
