Electrify Your Home: Free Info Night in Marrickville

Thinking about solar, a battery or getting off gas, but not sure what to do first?

Join Inner West Community Energy for a free, relaxed evening at Gasoline Pony in Marrickville. You don't have to change everything at once. We'll help you work out which step makes sense for your home right now, and what could come next.

Hear from IWCE volunteers who have helped hundreds of Inner West households with these decisions, and put your questions to an experienced local installer. No sales pitch, just practical, independent advice.

What to expect: a short talk to start, then most of the night is open Q&A with our experts and a local installer.

Steps we can talk through:

• Rooftop solar: is it right for your roof, and what size?

• Adding a battery, now or later

• Swapping a gas or electric hot water system for a heat pump

• Moving from gas to induction cooking

• Efficient heating and cooling

• Charging an electric car at home

• Rebates and incentives that can help with the cost

Who should come:

• Households in the Inner West, City of Sydney, Strathfield, Canada Bay and Burwood council areas

• Homeowners and apartment owners

• Anyone who wants independent, plain-English advice, whether you're just starting out or already comparing quotes

What to bring:

• Your questions

• A recent power bill

No technical background needed. You'll leave knowing your next step.

How IWCE can help you get started:

1. Get in touch and tell us what you're thinking about

2. Share a couple of recent power bills and a photo of your meter board

3. A trusted installer visits and assesses what suits your home

4. You get a quote, and we check it for quality and fair pricing

5. You decide, with no obligation

Free entry. Snacks provided. Drinks available to buy at the bar. Spaces are limited, so please register.
