Alice Solar City provides advice and information to householders to help them become more energy efficient at home. To make sure the advice is relevant to the individual household, a free, comprehensive home energy survey is provided for all householders who have registered with Alice Solar City.
An energy survey is an informal walk through your home to evaluate energy usage and how you can reduce your energy consumption. By looking at the physical aspects of the house itself and asking questions about appliance use and lifestyle we can understand where and how you use energy in your home. It’s also a great opportunity for you to ask questions as well.
The survey will be carried out by one of our friendly trained energy auditors, Neil or Craig. Neil and Craig have carried out many home energy surveys and will work with you to formulate a plan of action tailored to your needs, lifestyle and budget. This will include a range of measures both large and small which may be physical or behavioural changes that wil help you save energy. Your personalised energy saving report will be printed on the spot so that you can refer to it later and discuss with the rest of your household.
As part of the Agreement with our main funder (the Australian Government) we will collect some information on the type of appliances you have and we'll also ask you some demographic questions. Generally we allow about 1.5 hours for the survey and someone will need to be home to show the auditor around.
Alice Solar City provides financial incentives for a wide range of energy efficiency and solar energy measures; you can read more about the incentives here.
The measures that attract a financial incentive will be highlighted on your energy saving report and you will be sent an Alice Solar City incentive voucher for each measure you plan to go ahead with; a list of Registered Suppliers for each measure will also be sent out.
The next step is to simply contact one or more Registered Suppliers for a quote,select your preferred supplier and organise for the work to be carried out. Once the work has been completed and the supplier issues you with an invoice it should include a discount equal to the value of the incentive voucher - make sure you hand the voucher to the Registered Supplier. There are four exceptions: for the ‘Replace light bulbs with low energy bulbs’ incentive, 'Purchase a pool cover roller' incentive, 'Replace your old fridge' incentiveand the 'Replace your old freezer' incentive, the voucher is given to the Registered Supplier at point of sale.
To help you continue to be as energy efficient as possible and to further reduce your bills, we are now offering a free follow up energy survey at your home and a range of other free services.
