Electrification
What is electrification?
Home electrification is transitioning technology and appliances powered by fossil fuels, like gas, to electric.
Households can save money and also significantly reduce their emissions by electrifying their appliances and vehicles.
Why electrify?
An electrified home is more efficient, cost-saving and resilient than a fossil-fuel powered home.
Gas is expensive, unhealthy and unsustainable. By switching to cleaner, cheaper energy, you can future-proof your home.
We’ve been providing energy efficiency services in Wellington for over 20 years. As expert assessors, installers and electricians, we’re familiar with the challenges of Wellington homes and can help you electrify smartly and sustainably.

Hot water heat pumps
Unlike traditional hot water cylinders, hot water heat pumps pull warmth from the air and transfer it to a cylinder for efficient hot water. The result? Less electricity used, meaning lower power bills and a much smaller carbon footprint for your home.
Heat pumps
A heat pump installation can seriously upgrade the comfort of your home—giving you warmth in the colder months as well as cooling when it’s hot. As the most efficient form of indoor temperature control, it’s easy on the old power bill, too!
Central heating
Central heating (Ducted heat pumps) spreads warmth evenly throughout your home. This works with a super-efficient heat pump unit that pipes air to rooms through discreet vents. They’re cheaper to run than you might think, and our ducted heat pump systems cool too—so you're sorted year-round.
Ventilation
Moisture and poor airflow in your home can cause mould and unhealthy living conditions. It is also harder to heat damp air—meaning your heating has to work overtime. Our ventilation solutions tackle these problems effectively, improving airflow and reducing dampness in your home.
LED lighting
Lighting typically contributes to 5-15% of your total power bill. Switching to LEDs is one of the easiest ways to save some money. They're brighter, they last a lot longer and they are fire safe—which means you can insulate over them and close up those gaps.
EV charging
Owning an electric vehicle is a great way to reduce your dependence on expensive fossil fuels. Setting up a reliable home charging system will ensure you get from A-to-B efficiently. We make it straightforward with smart home EV chargers installed to suit your lifestyle (and power plan).
