Upgrade your pool pump

Part of the Energy Security Safeguard

We can help you replace your pool pump for a more energy efficient model. Switching to an energy efficient pool pump will help reduce your household energy use. You can also expect to see long-term savings on your power bills.  It’s also a great way to reduce your environmental impact.

Other benefits include reduced maintenance due to improved system design and a cleaner pool for longer!

This incentive is part of the Energy Savings Scheme, with additional benefits available under the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme.

Note: You will need to make a minimum payment towards the cost of your pool pump, as well as the installation services. The final cost will vary, as it depends on the model you choose, the type of pool pump 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.

  1. 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 product for your needs. Suppliers work independently and choose which areas they operate in and what products and services they can offer. 
  2. Choose a pool pump that best suits your needs. Your supplier can help you by showing you the different options available that work with your pool.
  3. 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.
  4. Your supplier will send a licensed plumber and/or electrician to install your new pool pump and also show you how to use it.
  5. Your plumber or electrician will dispose of and recycle your old pool pump, as well as any other equipment that is being replaced.
  6. It’s time to enjoy your new pool pump! But if you do have any issues, contact your supplier for further assistance.
