A solar diverter measures the surplus your panels would otherwise export and sends that amount into an electric hot-water element. Learn how the measurement and proportional control work, and how diverters compare with timers and heat pumps. Read More →
A heat pump water heater uses electricity to move heat from the air into the tank rather than to create it, which is why it uses far less energy than an element. This guide explains the refrigerant cycle, COP, cold-weather behaviour and noise. Read More →
An induction cooktop heats the pan itself using a rapidly changing magnetic field, which is why it is fast, precise and efficient. This guide explains the physics, how it compares with gas and resistive cooking, cookware needs and supply capacity. Read More →
Replacing gas and petrol with electricity works best in a sensible order. Follow the steps from efficiency and rooftop solar through hot water, heating, cooking and EV charging to a battery, with the capacity checks to make along the way. Read More →
Every home has a limit on how much power it can draw at once, set by the service fuse and consumer mains. Learn how supply capacity and maximum demand work, and why EV chargers, induction cooktops and heat pumps can call for an upgrade. Read More →
