Electrification

Move your apartment building from gas

Move to electricity and reduce your greenhouse emissions and costs

Data logging and Load measurements.
EV charging, electric heat pump hot water systems, electric heating, electric ovens and induction stove tops.

Electrification (also known as de-gassification) refers to changing from gas to electricity for heating and cooking.

Examples include:

Upgrading from a centralised (or individual) gas boiler hot water systems to electric heat pump hot water systems.
Upgrading from a gas boiler pool heater to an electric heat pump pool heater .
Using reverse cycle air-conditioning for space heating in apartments and common areas.
Replacing gas ovens and electric ovens and electric or induction cooktops.
It is also important to consider EV charging. EV charging can represent the biggest increase in electricity load, and bigest change to your electrical infrastructure. EV charging should be considered along with other areas of electrification.

Reduced energy costs.
Reduced greenhouse emissions.
Electricity can be supplied by GreenPower, clean green renewable energy.
Solar panels may be installed and used to power equipment that used to be supplied by gas.

Electrification involved adding new electrical equipment. And means adding new electrical loads.
Each apartment building has a supply allowance for the maximum load (Amps).
Some apartment buildings may not have the capacity to add new electrical loads.
Some older switchboards may be require upgrades.
It is critical to first develop an understanding of your electricity supply and electrical infrastructure, understand the demand for electrification for common areas and from apartments, and the need for EV charging. And develop a long-term strategy.
