Smart energy upgrades for homes and vehicles
Ben will give an interactive demo of their new Home and Car Electrification tool. The free tool has been built to make it easy for NZ home and vehicle owners to understand what electrification options make sense for them, what the potential payback period could be, and connects users directly with local installers and dealers, to get the job done!
So, bring along your address and/or car licence plate, and Ben will tell you how much you can save in annual energy and petrol bills through electrification. So far, there have been over 25,000 NZers using the tool in the first few months since launch. Ben will share what are the most popular upgrades people are interested in, and the average reductions in their energy bills AND carbon footprint.
