Explore Councils by state
Council alongside members of the Goulburn Murray Climate Alliance, including Alpine, Indigo, Mitchell, Murrindindi and Strathbogie shires, are supporting this program, aimed to offer safe and trustworthy suppliers and products to residents considering upgrading to solar, storage batteries, hot water systems or reverse cycle heating and cooling.
The program combines a fully vetted installer and products, as well as comprehensive information on each of the products, including the available rebates. The program also undertakes random audits on installations, giving peace of mind to customers that service and safety are a priority.
Council’s Manager Environment, Sharon Terry, encouraged community members to take advantage of the program and upgrade to the energy saving options.
“The regional Goulburn Murray Solar Savers program is a great opportunity for residents and business looking to upgrade their homes and businesses with energy efficient technologies. This program will provide clear information on quality products, suppliers and available rebates,” she said.
“We are looking forward to giving the community access to trustworthy suppliers and products, making it easier for them to make well informed decisions. We believe this will assist more residents and businesses to switch to energy saving and cost effective options.”
Goulburn Murray Climate Alliance Executive Officer, Carole Hammond, said the Goulburn Murray Solar Savers program was a regional offshoot of a larger metropolitan Solar Savers program.
“Our councils were researching what we could do to assist regional and rural residents, and Solar Savers was a logical fit. It is a tried and tested model which has been working for the residents of 19 metropolitan councils for a number of years,” she said.
“Goulburn Murray Solar Savers will soon expand its energy efficient technology offer to include induction cooktops, home and business electric vehicle chargers, insulation, draft proofing and home energy scorecard assessments.”
