Electrify everything
By switching your heating, cooling, hot water, cooking and cars, going all-electric is cheaper and cleaner to run.
Go Electric for a healthy, safe future
Be part of a clean energy future by moving your home to become all-electric.
Heating, cooling, hot water, cooking, bicycles & cars – going electric is healthier for your family and will make your home more comfortable and cheaper to run.
And it doesn’t have to be all at once. Take time to prepare so that when appliances like your hot water system need replacing, you’re ready to make the switch.
You can also install solar and battery or draughtproof your home to save money and support the transition to efficient, cleaner electricity.
If you are ready to start now or need to take it in stages - make a plan today to go all-electric.
And when you're ready to upgrade Yarra has partnered with Solar Savers, where you can receive up to three no-obligation quotes from Council-approved suppliers. Register through Yarra's Solar Savers page.

Make your Go Electric Plan
Most of us can’t afford to replace everything in one go, but with a bit of planning we can make sure that when our appliances or vehicles need replacing we choose efficient electric ones.
There are a number of tools out there to help you make a plan to Go Electric:
- Yarra's Go Electric plan [ PDF, 199.4 KB] will help you work out what the most efficient options are, record your research and provide links to where you can access subsidies or rebates.
