Learn how to save money on your energy bill from Rewiring Aotearoa
It keeps getting more expensive to heat our homes and water, cook our meals and get around. But there is a way to avoid those rising costs and Rewiring Aotearoa is launching Electrify Christchurch will show you how.
Most Canterbury homes could be saving thousands on their energy bills each year, while also slashing emissions, simply by upgrading their gas and petrol machines to the electric equivalents available today - and ideally powering them with solar and batteries for more self-sufficiency in case of power cuts or natural disasters.
Rolleston has crossed the “electrification tipping point” where homes, farms and businesses can now save money and reduce their emissions by going electric. It’s a massive win-win and a lot of people don’t know about the potential savings that are hiding in their cupboards, kitchens and driveways.
Rewiring Aotearoa is trying to support grassroots action across the country. Community electrification groups are popping up all over the place and helping to raise awareness about the benefits for their local region and helping locals through the process.
Come along to hear from Mike Casey, who is saving tens of thousands a year on his all-electric solar-powered cherry orchard. Find out how electrifying is the smartest, cheapest, and healthiest way to power our lives.
