• Electrify Wangaratta’s great sign up to get off gas tool
• NB Victorians can also use the Electric Home planner
• And if you are really keen try the ACT Next Choice Electric Tool
• But for a more comprehensive audit, you can’t beat Ecologic
• Merri-Bek’s electrify everything messaging guide
• Seb Crangle’s Get your home ready for Summer
• Jenny Edwards and Lish Fejer’s Green it Yourself
• Energy Consumer’s Australia’s buying guides
• Renew’s Getting off gas toolkit

What else have you come across that works?

Take control of your energy bills

Ecologic has been mothballed which is a shame.

• SEC has updated their Electric Home Planner to this tool: Easy Electric SEC
• Rewiring Australia is Beta testing Electric Saul and it looks fabulous. If you try it - send them feedback.
• CSIRO’s Living Lab allows you to offer your data for national research - by the end of 2026 they will provide much deeper insights into your own data for you too.
• Energy Made Easy and Victorian Energy Compare both allow you to put in your Meter number (NMI) and they automatically upload your data into their tariff comparison tools.
• Some Network companies (DNSPs/DSOs) and Retailers also allow you to understand your energy consumption by looking at your NMI data.
• and some more useful resources on the Net Zero Energy Builder site

Some of these tools obscure the number crunching behind the scenes - what do you find yourself trusting or dismissing?
