Heat pump subsidy

In July 2009 the government introduced subsidies for house that were built prior to 2000 for insulation and clean efficient heating and yes a heat pump can be subsidised under this scheme.

But you will need to check out how much you can get, depending whether you have a community services card or not or if you are a landlord and your tenant has a community services card.

The first consideration is given to insulation and if access is available to under floor and your ceiling both these areas must be brought up to building code levels to comply. If your home has been insulated to a level specified by EECA, limited funding of $500 (incl GST) is available towards a clean heating system. Maybe more if you have a comunity services card.
