New: the federal battery rebate pays the full rate on the first 14 kWh, the exact size of the ElektroBank 14, and steps down over time.
Once your car, heating and hot water all run on electricity, the trick is not making power, it is using the cheapest power at the right time. A HEMS does that for you, every day, without you thinking about it.
Electrifying your home eliminates your petrol and natural gas bills but multiplies your electricity use, and can expose you to hard to manage maximum demand tariffs.
