How much discount you can expect
Understanding heating and cooling systems
The cost of heating and cooling your home or business can be a significant part of your energy bills.
On average, households can spend up to $800 a year, or a third of their energy bill, on heating. This can be significantly more for businesses.
By replacing old heating and cooling systems with more energy-efficient ones or simply purchasing new energy-efficient ones, you can reduce your costs and energy use.
We recommend reviewing our guidance to help you choose the right reverse cycle air conditioner for your home.
