ACT Rebate
The ACT Energy Wise program, run by the ACT Government, offers rebates to homeowners or tenants that do energy saving improvements for at least $2000 to their residence. This includes everything from insulation, inserting double glazed windows to the installation of solar, gas or electric heat pump water heating systems.
Only the first $1000 of the cost of the installation of the water heating system (which replaces the existing electric heating system) can be used to calculate the $2000 to be used on improvements. This means that to receive the rebate, the householder needs to spend another $1000 on additional energy savings.
- In addition, to be eligible the rebate of $500 the householder/tenant must:
- Have an energy audit by HEAT ($30) (Ph 02 6260 6165 or email: info@heat.net.au).
- Be able to give detailed information about the residence's energy usage during the past year.
- Be able to show receipts from the renovations and improvements made.
- Lodge the application with attached receipts within six months after the energy audit.
- Not have received any other rebate under another program.
This is in addition to RECs.
