Home Energy Costs - Need help to Reduce Them?
Want to save money and save our precious environment?
Want a cooler home in summer and/or warmer home in winter?
You can achieve that and more with the help of a Goverment funded free Home Sustainability Assessment .
Saving Home Energy often relates to Saving Money over time! Creating an energy efficient home, can mean a more comfortable home for you!
The Green Loans Program is a NEW Australian Government initiative, to help Australians tackle climate change. Assisting Australian homes to become more aware of energy efficient and water saving products. Most households up to now, have found it hard to fully understand how to go about about saving energy in the home and where to start.
You now have the opportunity to find your Home's Energy Use. This Australian Government's Home Energy Saving Program, allows you to get a tailored Home Sustainability Assessment [HSA] for FREE. A professional Home Sustainability Assessment taken by our Independent Home Sustainability Assessor, will COST YOU NOTHING!
The green loans program will assist Australian families to ‘go
green’, save on energy and also assist in the purchase of new
‘green’ products through interest free loans.
The scheme has two main components funded by the Australian Federal
Government:
1. FREE Home Sustainability Assessment & Report (valued at over
$250)
2. Access to a Green Loans subsidy: borrow up to $10,000 to buy and
install green products (Obligation Free), interest free over 4 years..
Be part of this exciting new scheme that will enable you to drastically reduce your energy consumption and therefore reduce your energy bills. Most recommendations put forward in the assessment and report are straightforward and most importantly come at a very minimal cost.
To be eligible for a Home Sustainability Assessment (and/or Green Loan):
You need to be at least 18
years old and either an Australian citizen or a permanent resident.
Your taxable income needs to be under $250,000 a year.
You must be living in the home. You can either be the owner of the home, the trustee of the home or one of the tenants listed on the rental agreement if you're renting.
You won't be eligible if you live in a home owned by a government, a corporate organisation or a company.
The home cannot be a new home less than 12 months old and you may need to provide evidence that the home has been occupied for more than 12 months.
You'll need to give the government permission to access your water and energy records directly from your energy and water suppliers. This is so the government can calculate the reductions made by Australian households who participated in the program.

What does a Home Sustainability Assessment involve?

the process a range of practical suggestions is offered and solutions
to help improve household efficiency and sustainability.
How long will it take?
Assessments
usually take between 45mins and 1.5 hours. The length of the assessment
will depend on the size of the house, the availability of the information
required and the number of energy and water systems to be considered.
