Ceiling insulation has been added to the list of eligible items covered by the ACT Government’s Sustainable Household Scheme (SHS).
The SHS helps ACT households to reduce household costs by increasing energy efficiency – providing zero-interest loans of up to $15,000.
The Scheme has improved the sustainability of thousands of Canberra homes and significantly reduced household bills. The Scheme removes the upfront capital costs that can act as a barrier to households improving energy efficiency, using less energy and saving money.
Ceiling insulation helps to keep homes comfortable during the ACT’s cold winters and hot summers. Around half of the energy used in an average Canberra home is for heating and cooling.
Earlier this year, the ACT Government allocated an additional $50 million to the highly popular program.
The SHS has been extremely popular with more than $110 million in loans settled as of February 2023. This equates to over 9,000 Canberra homes investing in new energy-efficient products.
