Commenting on “Why gas cooking and hot water systems could be on the way out of Australian houses”
I don't agree that gas should be phased out in favour of electricity for cooking, and water or space heating.
It may be alright for a small dwelling that does not require ducted heating and people do not use a round-bottom wok for Chinese cooking.
Let me post the senario during electricity power blackout.
I can use my gas cooktop to light my candles, because as a non-smoker I normally do not stock matches in the house, even if I do, it is difficult to find the matches easily in the dark.
Having the candle lit, I can cook my yummy dinner or in the worst case rely on instant noodles. I can still enjoy my warm shower, and relax over a cup of coffee in a rather romantic candle lit room,
Many homes have reversed cycle air conditioners installed in multiple rooms and living areas. The running cost can be very high if several people in the house use separate locations at the same time. Ducted gas heating is more economical to run in winter than turning on multiple air conditioners.
Having gas connected incurs supply charge, and that must be taken into consideration.
Thank you for reading.
