They were determined to live smarter when it came to energy.\r\n\r\nLike many young Australians, the couple wanted to save on bills while reducing their carbon footprint. But when their old provider hiked their rates, they started looking for a better way.\r\n\r\n\u201c(Our previous energy retailer) gave us a crazy price increase, and that\u2019s when we thought - there has to be a better way. We jumped on Victorian Energy Compare and Flow came up as one of the best options. Add the solar and battery rebate, and it just made sense.\u201d \u2013 Reyner\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class=\"img__wrap\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-42359 size-large\" title=\"E0322ff1 6046 4535 9a66 80e3532117a0\" src=\"https:\/\/flowpower.com.au\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/e0322ff1-6046-4535-9a66-80e3532117a0-1024x787.jpg\" alt=\"E0322ff1 6046 4535 9a66 80e3532117a0\" width=\"1024\" height=\"787\" \/>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h3><\/h3>\r\n<h3>Why they chose a battery<\/h3>\r\nThe $7,500 Victorian rebate for batteries and solar gave them a boost, but the decision went deeper than dollars. With Faa working from home and Reyner keeping a close eye on costs, a home battery meant independence, comfort, and far less stress.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe battery helps us feel less stressed about how much energy we\u2019re actually using. If we want to turn the AC on in summer, we just do it.
