What the calculator does
The ZECO Energy Advisor gives you a personalised view of what switching to solar, battery storage, and electric appliances could mean for your household in the long run. In a few simple steps, it factors in your location, your current energy spend, and the gas appliances in your home to estimate how much you could save, with a focus on the long term.
It won't give you a quote. It will give you a number worth having a conversation about.
who it's for
This is for all Australians – especially ones who might not realise just how much they’ll spend on bills in the coming years.
The AER confirmed electricity price increases of up to 9.7% for residential customers in 2025-26, depending on location, and the causes of grid infrastructure, network maintenance, and the renewable transition - mean that trend is unlikely to reverse. On gas, the picture is more serious: as more households electrify and leave the network, the fixed cost of maintaining ageing pipeline infrastructure falls on fewer and fewer remaining customers, a dynamic Australia's energy regulators have already acknowledged is underway and will push gas bills higher regardless of what happens to wholesale prices.
The ZECO Energy advisor if you already have solar and are considering your next step - whether that's adding a battery, switching off gas, or understanding what full electrification would mean for your bills.
why it helps
Energy decisions are long-term decisions. The estimator helps you see the full picture, not just the upfront investment, but the annual savings that compound over time as electricity prices continue to rise. Rather than relying on industry averages that may not reflect your situation, the calculator adjusts for your state's electricity rates, solar conditions, and current energy mix. The result is a more honest starting point for understanding whether now is the right time to act, and where the biggest savings are for your household specifically.
