(Priority Group Only)

Take advantage of the Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS) with Subsidised Ceiling Insulation. Insulation can help your home use less heat when it’s cold. It can also help keep your home cool in the summer. If you live in an uninsulated home (or if your insulation needs top-up), you may be eligible for the subsidised installation of ceiling insulation by a licensed installer!

Currently, this offer is available for Priority Group Households only.

If your household meets any of the Priority Group criteria you may access these benefits:

Complete Ceiling Insulation Retrofit

R4.0 (195mm) ceiling
insulation batts on no
less than 20sqm of
habitable areas.

Insulation Top-Up

Toping-up an existing
ceiling insulation of R1.5
or less, which is in good
condition.

Benefits of Insulation

Reduced Energy Bills

Around 45-55% savings of the heating and cooling energy can be attributed to insulation. Ceiling insulation will improve the thermal performance of your home and save you money by minimising the need for heating and cooling all year round.

Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Insulation benefits the environment in the form of reduced emissions of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide, among others.

Thermal Insulation

Provides an effective barrier by restricting the flow of heat into and out of the home. The better the insulation, the better the thermal performance.
