Description

With gas prices going up all over the country, there's debate over whether households should make the switch to electricity. 

Contact Energy recently revealed it's hiking gas prices by an average of 17 percent, as the decline in production has hit faster and harder than expected.

Master Plumbers CEO Greg Wallace says making the switch is a big decision - and could set households back by thousands of dollars.

"The costs are anything between five and a half to $10,000 dollars to change over, so that capital investment is a considerable investment, and that payback takes some time."
