Why homeowners choose Certified Energy
Is this service right for you?
This service is designed for homeowners who want to make informed upgrade decisions before replacing appliances, renovating or investing in new electric systems.
Replacing gas
Understand which upgrades should happen first and how changes to heating, hot water and cooking may affect the wider home.
Renovating
Review electrification opportunities early, while changes to the building fabric, services and electrical capacity can still be coordinated.
Planning ahead
Establish a practical sequence of improvements based on your home, priorities and budget rather than treating each upgrade in isolation.
Where do you start?
Most homes become electric gradually, not all at once. Planning those upgrades together can reduce costs, avoid unnecessary work and make each investment go further.
A Home Electrification Assessment helps establish a practical sequence based on your existing home, future plans and available budget.
Heating, hot water, cooking, insulation, solar and electrical upgrades may all affect the best starting point.
Building condition, existing services, electrical capacity and planned renovation work can influence the recommended pathway.
A clear roadmap allows improvements to be coordinated around appliance replacement, renovation timing and budget.
Planning your home electrification
Every home is different, so the best electrification pathway depends on how your home performs today, how you live and what you plan to do next.
Send us your plans, photos or existing documentation and we'll explain the most practical next steps for your home.
SEND WHAT YOU HAVEBefore replacing appliances, we assess how your home performs and where improvements will have the greatest impact.
We look at your heating, cooling, hot water and cooking systems, together with future electrical requirements.
You'll receive a practical roadmap that prioritises upgrades around your budget, renovation plans and long-term goals.
What you'll receive
Instead of replacing appliances as they fail, you'll have a clear plan showing what to upgrade first, what can wait and how each decision fits into the bigger picture.
Every recommendation is tailored to your home, future plans and available budget.

Item 02
Plan improvements around renovations, budget and appliance replacement.
Item 03

WE’LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEEDFrequently Asked Questions
A Home Electrification Assessment provides independent, expert advice on how to transition your home to an efficient all-electric future. We assess your home's current performance, identify practical upgrade opportunities and prepare a staged roadmap tailored to your property, priorities and budget.
Yes. Our assessments are specifically designed for existing homes. Whether you're replacing ageing gas appliances, planning a renovation or simply looking to reduce energy costs over time, we'll help you develop a practical electrification strategy.
No. Most homeowners complete electrification over several years. Your assessment prioritises the most valuable improvements first, allowing you to upgrade progressively as equipment reaches the end of its life or your budget allows.
Every home is different, but recommendations commonly include insulation, draught sealing, heating and cooling, hot water, induction cooking, solar PV, battery storage and electrical capacity upgrades. All advice is prioritised specifically for your home and future plans.
No. Certified Energy provides completely independent advice. Because we don't sell or install products, our recommendations are based solely on what delivers the best long-term outcome for your home, rather than promoting particular brands or technologies.
No. Existing plans are helpful but not essential. In many cases, your property address, photographs and basic information about your home's construction and services are enough for us to begin the assessment.
If you'd like a deeper understanding before booking an assessment, visit our Home Electrification Knowledge Hub. It explains how electrification works, common upgrade pathways, typical costs and the factors that influence the best approach for different homes.
Simply send us any available plans, photos or property information. We'll review what you have, explain the assessment process, provide a fixed quotation and guide you through the next steps towards a practical home electrification plan.
