Why New Homes in Victoria Are Switching to All-Electric: What Homeowners Need to Know in 2025

Starting January 1, 2024, if you're building a new home in Victoria and need a planning permit, it'll have to be all-electric, which means no more hooking up to gas. This shift is part of the Victorian Government's effort to reduce emissions and transition to renewable energy (Premier.vic.gov.au), with new homes switching to all-electric in 2025 becoming the standard for energy-efficient living.

What does this mean for you?

When constructing a new home, you'll require electric appliances for hot water, heating and cooking. Opting for electric is not only more environmentally friendly, but it can also reduce your energy bills by up to $1,000 annually, particularly when combined with solar power.
