Save on energy bills with our insulation rebate!

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!

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