Downer Community Centre recently received a rebate to replace gas heating with efficient reverse cycle heating.
ACT small businesses can now access rebates of up to $10,000 to help transition their workplaces and work practices away from fossil-fuel gas to efficient electric appliances.
The rebates will support businesses to be more sustainable, in reducing both their emissions and operating costs.
Small to medium business can take advantage of the rebate, to upgrade to efficient electric appliances.
The rebates can pay for up to half the upfront cost of upgrading.
The ACT Government’s Sustainable Business Program complements the new rebate. The program provides expert advice at no cost, helping businesses identify areas of their business they can improve and act in the smartest, most cost-effective way.
The Downer Community Centre is using the new rebate to switch from gas heating to efficient reverse cycle heating. This change will help them save $1900 per year in bills and two tonnes per year of CO2 emissions.
ACT businesses with fewer than 20 employees are eligible for up to $10,000 in support through energy efficiency rebates.
The maximum rebate for electric-to-electric upgrades is $5,000 (incl GST), while fossil-fuel gas-to-electric upgrade rebates are capped at $10,000 (including GST).
