If you're new to home electrification and wondering what all the excitement is about, this is the perfect place to begin. The Start Here table is designed for visitors who have little or no background knowledge and simply want someone to explain the basics in plain English.
Friendly volunteers will introduce the key ideas behind home electrification, explain why many New Zealand households are making the switch from fossil fuels to electricity, and outline the technologies involved, including electric vehicles, heat pump water heating, solar panels, home batteries and induction cooking. They can also help you understand where the biggest savings often come from and suggest which parts of the expo are likely to be most relevant to your own situation.
Think of the Start Here table as your orientation point for the day. After a short conversation, you'll have a much clearer understanding of the electrification journey and a personalised roadmap for exploring the rest of the expo. Whether you're a homeowner, renter, landlord or simply curious, we're here to help you take the first step.
