At Ecovantage we work with your installer to help you access federal and state incentives and rebates, to save you money and save energy.
Your Energy Incentive Specialists.
Whilst Ecovantage no longer directly sells lighting, hot water, solar, and other energy technologies, we work with installers to generate incentives and rebates to offset your out-of-pocket costs.
The information on this page is indicative to help you understand the incentives available, and your installer will confirm all costs with you directly.

Incentives, Rebates & Discounts.
These terms are used interchangeably by energy efficiency companies and while they are technically different things, they effectively mean the same thing for you; a lower cost to make your home more energy efficient.

How does Ecovantage fit in?
As an accredited provider, Ecovantage undertakes auditing of completed projects to create energy certificates. You’ll engage a supplier/installer and they will quote for the work incl. available incentives, and install the product. They will pass the incentives to you directly, and Ecovantage gets to work in the background to reimburse the supplier.

When do I get my Rebate?
Many installations are eligible to create energy savings certificates, which Ecovantage and your installer take care of after the project is complete. Almost all incentives will be provided to you as an upfront discount on the cost of the works, directly from your installer.
In-Home Scorecard Assessment.
An in-home energy assessment, also known as a Scorecard Assessment, is a report that shows how energy-efficient your home is. You get a star rating for your home’s energy efficiency, insight into the energy consumption of your appliances, and a rating on the comfort of your home in hot and cold temperatures.
Make informed decisions to improve your rating | |
The assessor will make recommendations to support your goals | |
A great place to start if you want an all-electric home |
Scorecard Assessments are offered under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) on behalf of all Australian state governments and are available nationwide, with financial incentives to reduce the cost of hiring a professional assessor.

Insulation.

The insulation envelope of ceilings, walls and floors keeps warmth in your home in winter, keeps the heat out in summer, and results in less energy waste and costs.
Proper insulation reduces heat transfer, requiring less heating & cooling | |
Create a consistent and comfortable indoor environment | |
Insulation also acts as a sound barrier, keeping outside noises outside |
In South Australia, under the REPS program, financial incentives are available for new insulation and topping-up existing insulation.
Most other states don’t have the same government-led rebates, but benefit of installing new and topping-up insulation has a long-term benefit in helping to keep your energy bills under control. Victoria have announced a new initiative for 2026.
