Saving Water and Power ($WaP)

HOME ENERGY & WATER 'TIPS & TRICKS' VISITS (~90 minutes), to reduce household water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with fossil-fuelled electricity use and gas heating appliances. Our $WaP program is different from the Federal Green Loan program which is geared to prioritising big ticket items to make your home more sustainable. (See http:www.livinggreener.gov.au for current Federal schemes, rebates, etc.) Our program offers detailed tailor-made advice on no-and- low-cost ways to slash your electricity, gas and water bills. Many people are benefitting from having both free services (Green Loans and full advisory audit).
