In case anyone is interested, the cost to stop using bottled LPG gas at home was:
Hot-water heat pump (300l) installed: $7800
Induction stove with double-oven installed: $3200
We then got $160 back from returning the gas bottles and sold the old stove for $300.
All up total of NZ$12540.
The two main advantages:
- Lower energy bills and no worries about LPG supply/cost increases.
- No more gas burners polluting the kitchen.
