Are you renovating or building a new home?
Recently, the Federal and State governments have offered incentives to "green" your space. There are several ways of increasing the efficiency of your home, including installation of ceiling insulation, switching to solar hot water and installation of rainwater tanks. There are also rewarding consumers for purchasing energy and water efficient appliances such as washing machines as well as a fridge buyback scheme. There is even a low emission assitance plan for renters.
As well as making your home cooler in summer, warmer in winter and using less energy, you can save so much money in the long term. If you already have solar panels, the NSW Govt intends to pay for electricity that is fed back into the grid!
To see if you are eligible for a rebate check the following sites:
Australian Government Dept of Environment, Water and the Arts
New South Wales Dept of Environment and Climate Change
Economic Stimulus Package
New South Wales Dept of Energy and Water
