The State Government is phasing gas out of households because of the rising cost of gas bills, health concerns, and to help communities reduce emissions for a cleaner, brighter future. In fact, from 1 January 2024, gas connections in new homes were banned in Victoria.
So when it’s time to replace your household appliances, choose electric. It's healthier, cheaper to run, better for the environment, and essential to a comfortable, modern home.
