What rebates are available in the ACT?
Through the ACT Energy Efficiency Improvement Scheme (EEIS), eligible households and businesses can access rebates on energy-efficient reverse cycle air conditioners and ducted air conditioning systems.
The rebate you can receive depends on what you are replacing, the size and type of system you install, and whether you are a priority household. Additional incentives may be available for eligible Priority Households. Eligibility criteria and evidence requirements apply.
