    Why Do We Need to Inspect Your Property?

    Generic online calculators can’t give you a true price because the NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) calculates your cashback based on where you live, the brand you choose, the size of the unit, and your specific room/home layout.

    During your free on-site quote, our local technician will:

    STEP 1

    Measure your space

    Measure your space to ensure you don’t overpay for a unit that is too large, or get stuck with one that is too small.
    STEP 2

    Check your switchboard

    Check your switchboard to ensure your electricals can handle the upgrade safely.
    STEP 3

    Calculate your exact rebate

    Calculate your exact rebate on the spot, deducting the government cash back directly from your installation price.

    BRANDS WE PARTNER WITH

    Stop Paying to Run a Struggling Air Conditioner

    Getting government cash back is just the start. If your current unit is over 10 years old, it is likely costing you double in electricity to do half the work.

    Step Up to Premium (For Less)

    The rebate stretches your budget, allowing you to install a top-tier Daikin or Fujitsu system for the price of a budget brand.

    Instant Relief on Power Bills

    Modern inverter technology uses a fraction of the power of older models. You’ll see the difference on your very next quarterly bill.

    Whisper-Quiet Comfort:

    No more rattling units keeping you awake. Modern split and ducted systems are designed for total silence.

    Zero Paperwork Stress

    Government websites are a headache. Our admin team handles the entire application for you from our Strathfield office.
