Electrify Wānaka is a volunteer run community group set up to promote the economic, social, health and environmental benefits of electrification for our town.
With the current energy crisis, the cost of living is once again front and center on everyone’s mind.
This is why Electrify Wānaka is organising our first electric open home.
Our first home shows that everyone can benefit from electrification, it is a basic spec home built in 1999 and fully electrified since 2018. The total savings since electrifying this home have been more than $50,000 in running costs.
During the tour, we will cover the costs, the returns, what we should prioritise when electrifying and how to maximise the benefits of a solar system or the benefits of an electric home without solar.
The event is free but please RSVP at electrify.wanaka@gmail.com
