Refrigeration systems use a lot of energy. Installing new equipment or modifying your current system to make it more energy efficient can make a difference to your bottom line.
Making your refrigeration system more energy efficient will:
- reduce your energy use
- lower your energy bills
- reduce your emissions and help the environment.
An upgrade is when you replace or modify an existing refrigeration system so that it becomes more energy efficient.
Examples of modifications include, but are not limited to:
- insulating pipe work and cooled spaces
- installing variable or adjustable speed drives on pumps and motors
- installing automatic controls for sequencing compressors.
This is part of the Energy Savings Scheme, with additional benefits available under the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme. 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.
- 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 the energy use of your refrigeration system for some time before and after the upgrade. This can be done by submetering or checking your energy bills. - Choose a refrigerator or refrigeration system that will best suit your needs. Your supplier can help you by showing you a range of options available.
- 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.
- Your supplier will send a licensed electrician to install your new refrigeration system. They will also show you how to use and maintain it, as well as explain any additional features.
- You will need to make a payment towards your refrigerator upgrade and installation services. The final cost will depend on the model you choose, the design of your home and the services provided. The minimum you need to pay is $200 (excluding GST).
- Your electrician will dispose of and recycle your old refrigeration system, as well as any other equipment that is being replaced.
- Your new refrigerators are ready to use! If you run into any issues, contact your supplier for further assistance.
