        I just took a punt on the odd chance it might be honored.

        It's all fun and games if you don't take this stuff seriously. I won't be contacting Chloe for the gift card either since it was an honest mistake on their end.

          I certainly won't be pressing for any gift cards.

          I'm not keen on penalising a small business for an honest mistake.

          I also think that anyone who wants to take advantage of a small retailer in this high COL environment needs to check their entitlement.

    Scrap metal yard for all gas appliances. Bye bye gas!!

    • placard on 08/08/2023 - 11:11

      I agree. The amount of gas stoves that sit on FB marketplace for weeks on end. No one wants them anymore.

    • pizzaguy on 08/08/2023 - 11:17
      +1

      That's (un)fortunately very optimistic. These appliances are going to be in use for decades.

      Victoria has only recently banned new gas connections, but it's not like you'll see residential gas usage (and the market for gas appliances) gone in your lifetime.

      However let's not make this discouraging, it's stepping stones.

      • placard on 08/08/2023 - 12:54
        +3

        No of course not, it'll be a long process, that's fair. But I think the amount of people come kitchen renovation time are not putting in new gas stoves, they are putting in primarily induction now.

        Even the appliance stores are promoting induction and have very few gas stoves on display.

        The cost of induction is also greatly reducing too - Ikea for example has a few 60cm options for around $400-500.

        • nadan on 08/08/2023 - 13:14

          I was definitely thinking of replacing gas to induction but at this price I might as well just replace it for gas for now. The cost of induction is a fair bit right now, installing a new 30AMP socket and capping the gas pipe.

      • Sammyboy on 08/08/2023 - 13:38

        Agreed. Good luck trying to convince the Asians to give up gas cooking. If it starts swaying the Asian migrants to pick other states to move to, then I think Dan will reverse the ban pretty fast.

        • pizzaguy on 08/08/2023 - 13:59

          I don't think it's about any Asian habits . Most of the (advanced?) home cooks would prefer gas. You probably wouldn't find restaurants with proper kitchens cooking on induction stoves.

          Can't tell 100%, but your opinion might be considered hateful AF.

          • Sammyboy on 08/08/2023 - 14:04
            +3

            @pizzaguy: Probably will be lol. Im Asian myself. Actually probably a lot of cultures that would never give up gas. I think restaurants would all be applying for exemptions.

          • rehan770 on 17/08/2023 - 19:43

            @pizzaguy: I agree to that mate, gas cooking is the best & I bet you food is tastier 😅

          • lordra on 17/08/2023 - 22:57
            +1

            @pizzaguy: I don't see any hate in his comments.

            Poorer Asian countries, think India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and surrounds, cannot guarantee electricity throughout the day. Plus, there is no electricity infrastructure in some villages. So they cook with gas, on stove tops, with gas cylinders. The government supplies these cylinders in limited quantities or you go can private if you pay more.

            I personally prefer gas. Gas cooking is probably a very small fraction of the polluting we do. I see hundreds and hundreds of cars on my way to work, all with ONE PERSON in them. A single 1 hour journey from one car will make the gas sacrifice seem miniscuel. It's silly!

      One thing I noticed is Buywise groups generic products with the genuine products. You need to manually check each one and then you often realise it is a waste of time for those items.

    • placard on 08/08/2023 - 12:56

      Gas is only going to keep going up and up, not to mention the daily service fees.

      I'm down to one gas appliance now, hot water, and am about to change this to heat pump at which time I'm getting gas disconnected.

      I'll save $600 per year as the heat pump will run purely on my solar panels.

        • placard on 08/08/2023 - 13:32

          At least with solar you can insulate against these price rises.

            @placard: ya is good if you got the money to fork out for higher upfront costs

            what do you have now? continuous flow or water tank?

            https://www.epw.qld.gov.au/about/initiatives/household-energ… Heat pump hot water systems $800 / $1000 rebate in Qld :) soon

            • placard on 08/08/2023 - 13:40

              @Poor Ass: Agreed. Hopefully with rebates and interest free loans it enables many people to make the changes.

              Back in 2019 I installed a 6.6kw system (on the smaller side by today's standards) and was out of pocket $3.8k. It has already paid for itself as my electricity bills are hardly anything now.

              Heat pump hot water rebates in Vic are fairly generous too. I estimate once installed it will break even after just under 3 years due to no more gas bills.

              I agree, it's a big ask to have people upgrade everything at once. I kinda just did it as things broke, didn't replace them with gas. One by one, I had less and less gas appliances and now once hot water is changed, I don't need gas connection any more. Save $600 per year - that was daily fee plus gas usage to just heat hot water.

              • Poor Ass on 08/08/2023 - 13:42

                @placard: if you got solar is no brainer

                I'm getting like 50c a kw feed in broke even few times over now

                Although cooking with gas is more awesome

                besides if ya in Vic can't buy gas appliances eventually ….. time to get an EV and pay that damn road tax lol

                  @Poor Ass: My current petrol car is 22 years old and going strong. I'm actually seriously thinking about electric come time to replace it as financially it's starting to stack up due to lower maintenance costs and the ever rising cost of petrol. Even without solar, electric cars are much cheaper to run.
