Better for your wallet
Better for the climate
Gas is a fossil fuel, mostly made up of methane, which is a key driver of climate change. Switching from fossil fuels to renewables like solar is essential if we are to meet the net-zero targets to fight climate change.
Reducing our reliance on gas can also help to stop new fossil fuel projects from being built, because it sends a signal to the market that future gas supply isn’t needed.
Better for your health
Studies have found that cooking with gas can contribute to childhood asthma. What’s more, gas ducted heating produces poorer air quality than a split system heater, which is also safer and cheaper to run.
