Pool heating
Swim for more of the year without paying to run a gas heater. A pool heat pump or solar pool heating warms the water using the air or the sun instead.
A common sign
“We only use the pool for a few weeks a year because it’s too cold.”
About pool heating
Warmer water, for more of the year.
A pool heat pump pulls heat from the outside air and moves it into the pool water, a bit like a reverse cycle air conditioner. Solar pool heating pumps the water through collectors on your roof, where the sun warms it.
Both can replace a gas pool heater. A heat pump works in most weather, while solar is cheapest to run but depends on sunshine and roof space. Either way, a good pool cover keeps the heat in overnight and makes a big difference.
Helps with
Pools that are too cold to use most of the year
Helps with
Expensive gas pool heaters
Helps with
Homes with solar panels and spare power during the day
Worth knowing
Ask about a pool cover at the same time. Most of a pool’s heat is lost from the surface, so a cover helps any heater work less.

More in gas to electric
Other upgrades in this category.
Replace the gas appliances one by one, hot water, heating, cooking, and stop paying two connection fees to keep the house running.
Heat pump hot water systems
A heat pump uses a fraction of the electricity of an old electric tank, and it is the usual first swap when a gas system fails.
Hydronic heating
Heats the water in your radiators or heated slab with an electric heat pump instead of a gas boiler. The pipes and radiators can often stay, though not always, so ask.
Solar hot water
Roof collectors with a boosted tank. A different product from a heat pump, and still the cheaper option on some rooftops.
Energy efficient pool pumps
Replaces an old single speed pump with a variable speed one that runs slower for longer, so keeping the water clean takes less power.
Induction cooktop installation
Faster than gas, and it takes the last flame out of the kitchen. Usually needs its own circuit run from the switchboard.
Split system air conditioning
One unit for one room, or several heads off one outdoor box. The cheapest way to heat and cool the rooms you actually use.
Ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling
Ducted through the whole house. The vents from a ducted gas furnace can often be reused, though not always, so ask before you count on it.
Air conditioning servicing
A filter clean and a gas check keeps a system running at the efficiency it was sold at. Cheap next to replacing it early.
Switchboard upgrades
An older board often cannot take an induction cooktop, a heat pump and a charger at once. This is the job that unblocks the rest.
Gas abolishment and disconnection
The last step. Once every gas appliance is gone, removing the meter is what actually ends the daily supply charge.
