Electrification Readiness Assessment
Helping property owners transition from gas to efficient electric appliances.
Many Victorian properties still rely on gas appliances for heating, hot water and cooking.
An Electrification Readiness Assessment helps landlords, investors, housing providers and property managers understand:
✅ Current gas appliance reliance
✅ Opportunities for electrification
✅ Electrical capacity considerations
✅ Upgrade priorities
✅ Future compliance and energy efficiency opportunities
What We Assess
Heating Systems
- Gas heaters
- Reverse-cycle systems
- Replacement opportunities
Hot Water
- Existing gas systems
- Heat pump suitability
Cooking Appliances
- Gas cooktops
- Induction conversion opportunities
Electrical Infrastructure
- Switchboards
- Capacity observations
- Future upgrade considerations
Building Performance
- Whether electrification alone is enough
- Supporting upgrades such as insulation and draughtproofing
What report will I receive?
You will receive an Electrification Readiness Report which may include:
✅ Existing appliance inventory
✅ Upgrade opportunities
✅ Electrification suitability review
✅ Priority upgrade recommendations
✅ Future upgrade roadmap
Should I install solar before electrifying?
Every property is different. The assessment can identify whether electrification should occur first or whether solar generation should form part of a broader upgrade strategy.
Why Electrify?
Lower Running Costs
Efficient electric appliances can reduce energy consumption.
Improved Comfort
Modern electric heating and cooling systems can improve thermal comfort.
Future Readiness
Electrification supports Victoria's transition to more energy-efficient housing.
Reduce Gas Reliance
Plan a pathway away from ageing gas appliances.

FAQ Section
FAQ1 - What is an Electrification Readiness Assessment?
An Electrification Readiness Assessment reviews a property's existing heating, hot water, cooking appliances and energy infrastructure to identify opportunities for transitioning from gas to efficient electric alternatives.
FAQ2 - Can my property be converted to all-electric?
Most Victorian homes can be progressively electrified. The assessment identifies existing gas appliances, reviews electrical capacity and provides recommendations for future upgrades.
FAQ3 - Do I need to replace all gas appliances at once?
No. Many property owners choose a staged approach, replacing appliances as they reach end of life. The assessment provides a prioritised upgrade roadmap to help plan future investment.
FAQ4 - What appliances can be electrified?
Common electrification upgrades include:
- Reverse-cycle heating and cooling
- Heat pump hot water systems
- Induction cooktops
- Electric ovens
FAQ5 - Is electrification only suitable for newer homes?
No. Many older Victorian homes can also be electrified. In some cases, complementary upgrades such as insulation, draughtproofing or switchboard upgrades may improve outcomes.
FAQ6 - Can an Electrification Readiness Assessment help landlords?
Yes. The assessment helps landlords understand:
- Existing appliance condition
- Future upgrade requirements
- Electrification opportunities
- Property performance improvements
- Future compliance considerations
FAQ7 - Do you inspect the property onsite?
Yes. Assessments are generally undertaken onsite to review building systems, existing appliances and overall property performance.
FAQ8 - Can property managers organise assessments on behalf of landlords?
Yes. Property managers, landlords, housing providers and investors can all engage Geokal Services to undertake Electrification Readiness Assessments.
