Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Fully electric with solar 13Apr 24, 2023 10:26 am ![]() ![]() In addition to the reasons mentioned above, for anybody else that stumbles across this in future I thought I would add that many induction cooktops require 3 phase power in order to provide the 'boost' functionality of the cooktop and / or run multiple cooking zones. I built an all electric 3 phase house and Henley wired the bosch induction cooktop to 2 phases whilst isolating the rest of the house onto it's own phase. If you have a lot of air conditions, in addition to induction cooking plus all your standard household loads it can pull quite a bit. Finally, one other aspect I haven't seen mentioned is that 3 phase power delivery tends to be more stable. So depending on the number of houses on your street you won't see as much voltage fluctuations when compared to a single phase. There was an article in the financial review about this on Friday. The guy was arguing against this theory suggesting its very rare that a household will ever be pulling enough load to warrant 3 phase. Especially newer houses with efficient appliances. Hi Josh & Eve, thanks for the info, we have decided to play it safe and have 3 phase installed if it is available, would rather be safe than sorry. cheers, Lynne 9 28823 Hi All, Our current 16 year old ducted gas heating is broken and needs an urgent replacement and appreciate any advise from the industry experts to make a decision for… 0 19187 Hello all, After some recommendations for Brisbane or SE Qld companies who do electric sliding gates.
