The Victorian Energy Upgrades Program is a government initiative designed to help homeowners reduce energy consumption and costs. Often, homeowners want to invest in more energy-efficient technology, but the higher cost of these appliances makes them inaccessible – this program changes that. Here’s a quick guide to what you can upgrade in your home through this program, from insulation and hot water systems to weather sealing and eco-friendly lights .  #1 Hot Water Systems   Hot water systems are essential to daily comfort and hygiene, especially in the winter months. Although they can account for a massive 16% of household energy usage – especially if you have an older system – upgrading to a high-efficiency hot water system is not an easy decision due to the cost involved. Under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program, you can get as much as $799 off your upgrade depending on the size of the upgrade, the location, certificate price, and installation costs.  #2 Air Condi...

LED lightbulbs are one of the greatest sustainable energy innovations of our time! Here are some interesting facts about LEDs from our team of specialists. We provide free LED upgrades to homes through the Victorian Energy Upgrade Program . Fact #1 – LED Lightbulbs are Technological Innovations  The LED is also known as a light-emitting diode, and the team of scientists who were behind the invention of these lightbulbs in the 1990s won the Nobel Prize in physics for their innovation. The bulbs are a type of solid-state lighting that utilises a semiconductor to convert electricity into light, technology that allows them to use 85% less energy than typical halogen bulbs. It’s this ability to provide great lighting using a fraction of the energy that has made them part of the Victorian Energy Upgrade Program.  Fact #2 – They’re Versatile  LED lightbulbs can be used in almost any lighting application, from residential lighting (task lighting, security ...
