Customer story
How Murray and Bec switched to electric at their family home
“The major thing, for us, was getting off gas,” Murray says. “Environmentally, gas isn’t the best thing to use in your house. I knew going electric was best for us, and would give us a more sustainable way of living. It was an easy choice in the end.”
