Furnaces

You can save money by upgrading or modifying your furnace to be more energy efficient. With your furnace operating more efficiently and recovering heat better, you will:

• reduce your energy use
• lower your energy bills
• reduce your environmental impact.

Examples of modifications include, but are not limited to:

• insulation of furnace walls
• installing a pressure control system
• installing temperature sensors
• installing oxygen enrichment equipment.

This incentive is part of the Energy Savings Scheme (ESS). The more energy you save, the greater the incentive you can receive.

Get the upgrade

Here are a few steps you will need to follow to get the upgrade.

1. Contact an approved supplier. They will be able to check your eligibility and provide you with a quote. You can contact multiple suppliers for quotes to ensure you’re getting the best energy savings.
   You may need to measure your furnace’s energy use for some time before and after the upgrade. This can be done by submetering or checking your energy bills. 
2. Choose a furnace that best suits your needs. Your supplier can help you by showing you a range of options available. 
3. Make sure you choose an approved supplier before any work begins. The supplier will then provide you with the nomination form. You must sign the nomination form before your installation is complete, as you will not be reimbursed for works that are already completed.
4. Your supplier will send a licensed electrician to install your new furnace. They will also show you how to use and maintain it. 
5. Your electrician will dispose of and recycle your old furnace as well as any other equipment that is being replaced.
6. Your new furnace is up and running. You can contact your supplier if you need any further assistance.
