Worth up to $1,600 Free Insulation is available to owner-occupiers, landlords and tenants via the Home Insulation Program thanks to the govt grant.

Currently homes with out roof insulation are being focused on by this program. Homes that are not insulated or have minimal ceiling insulation and were built before 2003. Homes built after 2003 are required to be insulated.

Where the complete cost of installation is is under $1,600 there will be no out of pocket expenses for the householder. This usually applies to homes with less than 110 – 135m2. Most households are beneath this however when the installation cost exceed the grant then the home owner will pay the difference, i.e. any amount over $1600 or if the are not able to claim the grant the full amount.

Annouinced on the 3 February 2009 the program has been increased to allow rental properties to have the full $1600 grant, prior to 31 August 2009 there were separate arrangements for owner- occupiers and rental properties. This program now covers all eligible households and is in effect from 1 September 2009 to 31 December 2011 or until the date when Program funds have been fully allocated, whichever occurs first. for owner- occupiers and rental properties.

Householders who wish to participate in the program should read the Program guidelines before arranging insulation.
The insulation must be installed by an insulation installer who is registered on the Australian Government’s Installer Provider Register.
The $1,600 assistance is an alternative to the solar hot water rebate. Householders cannot access both $1,600 assistance packages for the same home.
