NEWS UPDATE: As of 19/02/2010 The Government Insulation Rebate has been cancelled.
Claim Your $1,200 Federal Government Rebate
Starts July 1st 2009 (Modified 2/11/09)
Australia’s Federal government has recently approved a new initiative to reduce energy consumptions by Aussie Homes with the Homeowner Insulation Program which offers installation of roofing insulation valued up to $1,200. This grant is available to owners as well as landlords of residential property in Australia.
The Homeowner Insulation program targets Perth owners who are currently un-insulated or are found to have ineffective ceiling insulation which generally is any roof insulation that is over 10 years old.
Perth Homeowners are snapping this offer up left right and centre as the total cost of installation is more often than not less than the provisional $1,200 that is on offer, this means that there is no more for the homeowner (OR YOU) to pay.
For most 4×2 houses in Perth the Insulation rebate will cover the entire cost of your insulation, so we reitterate, NO COST TO YOU!
