Hume City Council has partnered with Yarra Energy Foundation and vetted suppliers, All Electric Homes and Enviroflex, to offer the following range of quality, affordable home energy upgrades to Hume residents.
YEF and the vetted suppliers assist residents to access applicable discounts, rebates and loans.
Rebates from Hume City Council are available to eligible concession card holders who have products installed through the Home Energy Upgrades program. To be eligible for concession rebates, homeowners (owner-occupiers who live in the house they would like energy upgrades for) need to currently hold one of the following cards: Centrelink Health Care Card, Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card, Veterans’ Affairs Pensioner Concession Card or Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card.
Please note; the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card and the Victorian Seniors Cards are not eligible to receive Hume City Council rebates through the Hume Home Energy Upgrades program.
Eligible concession card holders may choose more than one type of home energy upgrade and receive the applicable rebates for each upgrade type. For example, if they would like ceiling insulation ($1,000 rebate), one split system ($950 rebate), and one 270L heat pump hot water system ($270 rebate), the total value of their rebates would be $2,220.
