The ACT Government plans to phase out wood heating by 2045.

The Australian Home Heating Association strongly disagrees with this decision, as wood is one of the cleanest domestic heating options available. Modern-day wood heaters provide carbon-neutral heat at low operational costs.

If this ban goes ahead, Australians living in the ACT will be forced to replace their wood heaters with electric heaters which are far more expensive to install and operate. Do you really want electricity companies to have a monopoloy over your heating solutions?

The transition to 100% electricity as a heating source raises several concerns. It not only places significant strain on the current electrical grid but also poses the risk of winter blackouts when heating demand is at its peak. Escalating electricity expenses are also a major worry, especially when the community will have little alternatives for affordable heating solutions.
