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.
This incentive is part of the Energy Savings Scheme.
Note: You will need to make a minimum payment towards the cost of your hot water system, as well as the installation services. The final cost will vary, as it depends on the model you choose, the type of system you currently have, and the services provided. This can include travel and transportation costs, the complexity of the installation, and the need for additional building work.
Get the upgrade
Here are a few steps you will need to follow to get the upgrade.
- Contact approved suppliers. They will be able to check your eligibility and provide you with a quote. It’s a good idea to request quotes from more than one supplier. This will ensure you’re getting the best deal and system for your needs. Suppliers work independently and choose which areas they operate in and what products and services they can offer.
- Choose a hot water system that best suits your needs. Your supplier can help you by showing you the different options available that will work with your home set-up.
- Choose an approved supplier before any work begins. The supplier will provide you with the nomination form. You must sign the nomination form before your installation is complete, as you will not be reimbursed for works that are already completed.
- Your supplier will send a licensed electrician and/or plumber to install your new hot water system. They will also show you how to use it.
- Your electrician or plumber will dispose of and recycle your old hot water system, as well as any other equipment that is being replaced.
- Now you can enjoy your new hot water system! But if you have any issues or questions, contact your supplier for further assistance.
