As more Australians explore ways to make their homes, smarter and more cost‑effective to run, understanding your energy options has never been more important. That’s why we’re excited to share a powerful resource from AGL - Electrify Now.
The Electrify NowTM is useful for anyone who is considering all-electric upgrades to their home - post-handover - whether they’ve just moved in or have been living in their Plantation home for years! Whilst all new Plantation homes deposited on since May 2024 have included a 7-star energy rating, often there is still more that homeowners can do to save further on their energy bills and move towards a more sustainable future.
AGL is the trusted provider we use to connect gas and electricity to all our new homes during construction. Their Electrify NowTM tool has been designed to give homeowners clear, personalised insights into how investing in things like solar, home battery, electric hot water, reverse cycle air-conditioning or an EV, will impact their energy consumption and potentially help them save on energy bills. The tool can also help you learn about government rebates and financing options, and find trusted installers in your local area.
Whether you’re still settling into your new home or are considering ways to optimise the Plantation home you bought or built years ago, the Electrify NowTM tool by AGL helps you make confident energy decisions and maximise long‑term value.
How does the Electrify NowTM tool work?
The Electrify NowTM tool is a simple online questionnaire that asks you about your home, the products you currently use, and your energy bills. Then it uses this information to help you understand:
- How much you could save by switching to/adding all-electric products
- What upgrades make the biggest impact (solar, heating and cooling, hot water, EV charging, and more)
- Your upfront costs vs long‑term savings
- Available government rebates and incentives
- Installation options from trusted suppliers
How AGL’s Electrify NowTM tool supports you into the future
Energy decisions don’t stop at contract signing for your new home; energy needs, and technology evolve. Whether you’re adding a battery, considering an electric vehicle, or wanting to maximise your solar system, the tool provides a clear snapshot of potential energy expenses, highlighting the savings an all‑electric home can deliver over time.
The Electrify NowTM tool allows you to model different options and see how post-settlement choices can help reduce your energy bills for years to come.
You can:
- Understand your usage, and what potential savings are available
- Explore AGL’s energy plans, solar solutions, internet plans and even EV subscriptions
- Receive quotes from trusted installers for new upgrades
- Plan future additions with confidence
What you may need to know before you start
The Electrify NowTM questionnaire is quick and easy to answer, but having a few details handy about the energy products you currently use at home, will help you get the most accurate results.
- Hot water system
What type of system do you currently have?
If electric, do you have a controlled load tariff? (Check your most recent electricity bill.)
- Heating
What type of system do you currently have? (Gas ducted, split system, reverse cycle, etc.)
- Solar
How much solar credit did you receive on your last bill?
What is you solar feed-in tariff (per kWh)?
- General energy information
How much did you pay for electricity in your latest billing period? (After solar credits, including GST.)
If you don’t have all the details, that’s OK - the tool still works with estimates.
