        Energy plays a big part in our lives today, especially as the world faces a climate crisis. Electrification emerges as a solution, but managing our home’s energy can feel complicated and increasingly political. In My Efficient Electric Home Handbook, author Tim Forcey draws on decades of experimentation and the insights from his Facebook group to create a guide that will help Australians save money, improve their health and benefit the planet. From how to heat your water the cheapest way, to cooking without gas, and whether solar panels and batteries are worth it, Forcey covers many topics in a writing style that’s easy to read and he never speaks down to his audience. His upbringing in North America, where homes are more commonly insulated against harsh winters, and his experience as a home comfort and energy adviser and researcher gives him unique insights that Australians may not typically have but need. This book aims to help readers, including renters, make their homes safer, more comfortable and healthier while reducing energy costs, explaining electricity and gas bills, and helping readers get ‘off the gas grid’. My Efficient Electric Home Handbook sheds light on how gas prices impact electricity costs, prompting readers to think differently and perhaps reconsider using reverse cycle heating in winter. This book will likely empower readers who enjoy pithy, practical books, such as The Health Habit by Amantha Imber, to make informed choices by unravelling public relations messages about gas and energy.
