Australian Real Estate: How to Receive Insulation Rebates

Published on July 7, 2009   | Print This Post Print This Post

Having started on 1 July 2009, Australian homeowners are able to receive financial assistance – the Homeowner Insulation Rebate – an  incentive to eco renovate.

Why Use Insulation?

Quite simply, by insulating your home, you will utilize one of the simplest methods to make your home more energy efficient and regulate the air temperature.

Effective insulation keeps the heat in and keeps the cold out during the winter, and assists in regulating the cool air in your home during the summer, thus benefiting from reducing your requirements (and thus expenses) for artificial heating.

The Homeowner Insulation Rebate

This allows for zero up-front costs for insulation installations that generally cost in the realms of less $1600 for the majority of households.

In the specific case of landlords and tenants, there is a Low Emission Assistance Plan for Renters, which qualifies investment/rental properties to receive assistance of up to $1000 for insulation installation. Given that the average cost for installing insulation is approximately $1200 per property, that means an outlay of around just $200.
