How you take part depends on the property. For the home you live in, you can apply as a homeowner. For a property you rent out, your tenant applies and you give your consent as the landlord.
What this means for you
- For the home you live in. You can apply as a homeowner for the home you live in, for one property only. You cannot apply for a discount to be installed in a property you own and rent out.
- For a property you rent out. A tenant named on the lease who meets the eligibility requirements may apply for a discount for the home they rent from you. Your consent is needed before any products are installed. You give your consent by completing a Customer Landlord Discount Agreement, which sets out the terms, including terms designed to protect your tenant.
- You pay the contribution. On the tenant path the products become part of your property, so you pay the deposit at the end of your tenant's application, which is $200 or 10% of the amount above the discount, whichever is greater, and the remaining balance once the quote is confirmed.
- Energy saving upgrades can make a property cheaper to run and more comfortable, which can benefit the property long term.
