Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 02, 2019 3:02 pm Hi We are currently looking at builders and want a gas cooktop. Also don't intend to use a barbie as well. So would it be best that if we tell the builder to not get a gas connection at all. Will we have to pay for gas supply charge if there is a connection but we don't use it at all? Re: No gas in new build 2May 02, 2019 3:05 pm Forgot to mention about the gas water heater. Would like to get an electric water heater as well but currently not sure how much the builders will cost & we may get it if the cost is not a lot higher. But still not sure about the supply charge if we don't use gas at all and there is a connection.

Yes you will pay supply charge even if you don't use gas. Have you thought about heating as well? If no gas then you'll need reverse cycle ac/heater. More expensive up front. If you want to go fully electric, look at getting solar and battery, so you don't end up paying what you save on gas in electricity.
