You’ll find no bigger advocate for electrification than me. I have no doubt that electrification of households is the solution to a number of problems, especially reducing carbon emissions and reducing energy bills.
But, there is one big problem with electrification: upfront cost.
Unfortunately a number of electrification steps require significant upfront cost. Heat pump hot water is the cheapest and most efficient way to heat water for your home, but, if you can’t afford a new unit, you might be stuck with an old unit that is expensive to run.
It can be a vicious cycle – you’re stuck with higher energy bills meaning you struggle to save for a new, more efficient electric appliance.
Powrhouse is committed to the cause and we want to give back.
We are thrilled to announce that for every 10 heat pump hot water units we sell, we are donating 1 unit to those that could use some help.
We know people are doing it tough out there. The cost of living crisis, rising interest rates and soaring energy bills – it’s hard. We want to help.
Do you know anyone that could use a free heat pump hot water unit?
We’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to apply below, either for yourself, or for someone that you think is a worthy recipient.
The following qualification criteria apply:
- Current hot water service is gas storage installed outside (new unit to go in the same location)
- Current hot water service is old – the older the better
- 2, 3 or 4 people in the home
- You are eligible for the Solar Victoria Hot Water Rebate
- You could use some help – we will prioritise those that are most in need
- You live in Metropolitan Melbourne
Powrhouse will make regular donations. We will prioritise those that are most in need with old gas units. Please let us know and we will hopefully be in touch.
