NSW
The Energy Savings Scheme reduces electricity consumption in NSW by creating financial incentives for organisations to invest in energy savings projects. Energy savings are achieved by installing, improving or replacing energy savings equipment.
The Energy Savings Scheme is governed by NSW legislation. It places a mandatory obligation on Scheme Participants to obtain and surrender energy savings certificates, which represent energy savings. The development of the policy framework is the responsibility of the Office of Environment and Heritage and the Department of Planning and Environment, Division of Energy, Water and Portfolio Strategy.

What Is HEER Method?
The ESS Rule provides a method for up-front deeming of energy savings from upgrades undertaken at residential and small business sites, including for the replacement of inefficient lighting: the Home Energy Efficiency Retrofits method.
Only the Accredited Certificate Providers (ACPs) are allowed to deliver the Home Energy Efficiency Retrofit (HEER) activities under the ESS to help the NSW households and Small Business save energy by supporting a range of energy efficiency upgrades such as lighting, equipment upgrades, and draught proofing.
ACPs are businesses accredited by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) which undertake specified energy saving activities under the ESS. The ACPs can offer HEER activities by themselves or contract it to other third-party installers such as electricians. ACPs work independently and are not deemed as employees or representatives of the NSW Government.
An ACP must be nominated to be the energy saver by the original saver of the energy for implementing the upgrade and creating Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs). A nomination can only be made once for the same upgrade and it should be made before the completion of the job. All equipment must be installed by the ACP or their representatives to ensure that the installation is carried out safely by the licensed and trained technicians.
The ESS Rule also has specific requirements for the types of lighting that may be installed under this method. Certain lighting products must be accepted for use by IPART before then can be used in an upgrade.
More information on how Accredited Certificate Providers accredited to use the Home Energy Efficiency Retrofits method can apply to have equipment accepted can be found on HEER Lighting Requirements page.
Benefits
- Did you know that you could save up to 85% on your lighting costs (up to per globe per year) by installing more efficient lighting technology?
- Recent developments in lighting technology, including LEDs and CFLs, mean that the lighting in your home can be powered more efficiently.
- Not only will the latest energy-efficient lighting reduce your energy bill but it will also reduce your maintenance costs because new lighting technology lasts longer.
- The NSW Government is committed to helping households and businesses reduce their bills by offering financial incentives for replacing your old lighting equipment.
- By participating, you can save money on the upgrade costs, reduce your energy bill and help the environment.
How To Works?
The Victorian Energy Upgrade Program Provides financial incentives to install energy efficient equipment and appliances in VIC businesses and households.
An Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEEC's) is created by an Accredited Partner for each national megawatt hour of energy saved by the project.
The Mandatory Scheme Participants i.e. Electricity Retailers obtain and surrender these certificates to meet their own legislated targets, as enforced by VIC Government.
There is no catch, just avail the Government Incentive and enjoy reductions in your electricity bills!
What Is Free Hot Water System Upgrade
The Australian Government’s energy efficient/renewable energy schemes, enable us to replace your existing electric hot water system with a NEW energy-efficient ‘hot water system’ for FREE. Our energy-efficient hot water systems are installed by fully licensed Plumbers and Electricians and are also heavily subsidised.
Our Hot Water units use advance, smart, renewable energy technology to extract energy from the surrounding air and utilize thermal energy to generate hot water.
Save annually on your power bill and upgrade your current system on Free Hot water system upgrade.
Install Hot Water System in NSW or VIC for Commercial properties & business under Energy Saving Scheme and Victoria Energy Upgrade Program.
We can help you upgrade your hot water system for a more energy efficient model. Switching to a more energy efficient hot water system will help you reduce the amount of energy and water you use. This means you can expect to see long-term cost savings on your bills.
Using a more energy efficient hot water system will also help you lower your environmental impact.
Benefits
- If you have an electric hot water system installed, then you are eligible. It’s that simple for the commercial industry only.
- You too can benefit from this incentive and upgrade to an approved energy-efficient system with 80% lower running costs
