There are many steps you can take to reduce your
household energy costs. People often don't take action
because they are unsure what the best steps are.

ACT Energy Wise, the ACT Government's home energy audit
and rebate program, can show you how, and can provide
financial assistance to invest in energy savings in your home.

For just $30 a professional energy auditor from the Home Energy Advice Team (HEAT) will visit your home, check the features of your house that affect your energy use and identify where savings can be made. You will receive a written report which will set out a plan to capture the energy savings identified.

Homeowners who spend at least $2,000 on energy efficiency improvements identified during the audit will be eligible to receive a $500 rebate from the ACT Government, plus a refund of the $30 audit fee.

Money invested in energy efficiency can reduce ongoing energy bills, increase the comfort of your home in summer and in winter, help the environment and can add to the value of your house. That's great value!

Nearly a third of Canberra's greenhouse gas emissions come from natural gas and electricity used in homes. The ACT Government is committed to reducing those emissions. You can help, while doing yourself a financial favour by taking part in ACT Energy Wise.

Only houses and semi-detached houses built before 1996 are eligible for an audit. People who have an energy audit will be asked to provide their energy bill information so that energy use can be measured and improvements monitored. Information on how to apply for a rebate will be provided with the audit report.
