The Business Energy Savers Program helps local businesses cut energy costs through targeted efficiency upgrades. By retrofitting existing equipment with modern, energy-efficient alternatives—subsidised through the Victorian Energy Upgrades Program—businesses can save money while reducing emissions.
Upgrades may include:
- Heat Pump Hot Water
- High-efficiency reverse cycle air conditioning units
- Refrigerated display cabinets and cool room upgrades
- LED Lighting
- Other approved energy-saving equipment
The program is available across participating EAGA councils (City of Boroondara, Glen Eira City Council, Knox City Council, Maroondah City Council, City of Monash and Yarra Ranges Shire Council). City of Casey and City of Manningham are also participants of the program.
How the program works
- Qualified installers: Energy Savers has pre-selected accredited installers through a competitive process, ensuring businesses receive quality products and warranties while protecting councils from unreliable providers.
- Council support: Each participating council receives ready-to-use communication resources to share through their business networks.
- Trusted brand: Councils leverage their trusted reputation to connect local businesses to the program.
- Simple process: Businesses register through a central portal, receive a free quote detailing costs, rebates, and projected savings, and are then connected with vetted installers.
- Ongoing reporting: Installers provide updates to the Energy Savers team, including installation types, costs, and savings—enabling councils to track outcomes and program impact.
