Apply for household rebates and save

NSW households can save money, water, energy and greenhouse gas emissions by applying for rebates under the $100 million NSW Climate Change Fund Residential rebate program.

Save:

• up to $1,500 for rainwater tanks connected to toilets and washing machines
• up to $1,200 to switch from an electric to solar, gas or heat pump hot water system
• up to $300 to install ceiling insulation
• $150 for washing machines with at least a 4.5 star WELS rating
• $35 for second fridges through Fridge Buyback

The $35 Fridge Buyback rebate is paid when collection involves six or less stairs. Collection is free, but no rebate is paid, where collection involves between 6-20 stairs.

Under the program, refrigerant gases are collected and destroyed using trained staff licensed under the Australian Refrigeration Council’s requirements.

The $150 rebate for 4.5 star washing machines is available for purchases from 1 August 2008.
