SwitchedOn Podcast: A Q&A on household electrification with Tesla-driving sparkie

Published by

Brendan Lang is an electrician from Melbourne who swapped his diesel guzzling tradie ute for a Tesla.

He calls his business Get off Gas and this week he provides answers to household electrification questions such as:

Do I need to rewire my house to install an induction stove?

Do I need 3 phase power if I want to go all-electric?

Should I insulate my home before I get rid of the gas and electrify everything?

What should I say to a tradie who says heat pumps are no good? How do I navigate the government rebates to get the most out of them?

And lots more.
