The program offers eligible households an interest-free $15,000 loan (up to $15,000) to help cover the upfront cost of approved energy-efficient upgrades, making it easier to improve home comfort, reduce energy consumption, and lower ongoing energy bills.

What Is the NSW Government Home Energy Saver Loan?
The NSW Government Home Energy Saver loan is designed to help households overcome the upfront cost of energy-efficient home improvements.
Eligible applicants can access an interest-free loan of up to $15,000 for approved upgrades that can improve energy efficiency and reduce household energy costs. The program is funded by the NSW Government and delivered through approved finance providers.
The NSW Home Energy Saver loan can be used for a range of eligible energy-saving technologies and home electrification upgrades, helping households transition to more efficient homes while spreading the cost over manageable repayments.
Who Is Eligible for the interest-free loan?
Understanding NSW energy upgrade loan eligibility is important before applying.
To be eligible for the NSW Home Energy Saver loan, applicants must:
- Own a property located in NSW
- Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
- Be an owner-occupier or landlord
- Have a combined annual taxable household income of up to $210,000
Additional eligibility requirements may apply depending on the upgrade type and financing provider.
What Upgrades Can Be Financed Under the NSW Home Energy Saver Loan?
The Home Energy Saver program covers a range of approved energy-efficiency improvements.
- Rooftop Solar System
- Residential Battery
- Switchboard Upgrade
- Heat Pump Water Heater
- Solar Water Heater
- Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner
- Induction Cooktop
- EV Level 2 Charger
- DC Ceiling Fan

For E-Green Electrical customers, the key eligible upgrades include:
Interest-Free Solar and Battery Systems Under Home Energy Saver Loan
The program can be used to finance eligible solar and battery installations.
Important: Under the Home Energy Saver loan, rooftop solar must be installed together with an eligible battery system. Similarly, a battery installation must be connected to a property that has solar generation. Solar-only installations are not eligible under this program.
For households considering renewable energy, the program provides access to an interest-free solar battery loan in NSW when eligible solar and battery systems are installed together in accordance with program requirements.
A solar and battery package can help homeowners:
- Generate renewable electricity
- Store excess solar energy for later use
- Reduce reliance on the grid
- Improve energy independence
Interest-Free Heat Pump Hot Water
Heat pump hot water systems are one of the approved upgrade categories under the program.
An interest-free heat pump hot water NSW upgrade can help households replace older electric hot water systems with a more energy-efficient alternative.
Compared with traditional electric resistance water heaters, heat pumps use significantly less electricity by extracting heat from the surrounding air to heat water.
Potential benefits include:
- Lower hot water running costs
- Reduced household energy consumption
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions
- Improved energy efficiency
Interest-Free Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning
Eligible households can also use the loan for approved reverse-cycle air conditioning systems.
Interest-free reverse cycle air conditioning NSW finance can help homeowners install an energy-efficient heating and cooling solution without paying the full upfront cost immediately.
Reverse-cycle air conditioners provide both heating and cooling from a single energy-efficient system and are often significantly more efficient than portable heaters or older heating technologies.
Benefits may include:
- Year-round heating and cooling
- Improved comfort
- Lower energy use compared with less efficient heating systems
- Reduced running costs

Interest-Free EV Level 2 Charger
Eligible households may also be able to use the NSW Home Energy Saver loan for approved EV Level 2 charger installations.
An EV Level 2 charger provides a faster and more convenient way to charge an electric vehicle at home compared to a standard power outlet. As more Australians transition to electric vehicles, home charging solutions can help improve convenience and support lower-emission transport.
Potential benefits include:
- Faster charging times compared to standard wall outlets
- Convenient overnight charging at home
- Improved compatibility with modern electric vehicles
- Enhanced energy management when paired with solar and battery systems
Interest-Free DC Ceiling Fan
DC ceiling fans are another eligible energy-efficient upgrade available under the program.
Compared with conventional AC ceiling fans, DC ceiling fans typically use significantly less electricity while providing effective airflow and improved comfort throughout the home.
Installing energy-efficient ceiling fans can help reduce reliance on air conditioning during milder weather and contribute to lower household energy consumption.
Potential benefits include:
- Lower energy consumption
- Reduced cooling costs
- Quiet operation
- Improved year-round comfort
- Energy-efficient airflow throughout the home
Why Are These Upgrades Important?
Energy-efficient technologies can help households reduce electricity consumption and improve comfort throughout the year.
Many homeowners delay upgrades because of the upfront cost. The NSW Home Energy Saver loan addresses this challenge by allowing eligible households to spread repayments over time while avoiding interest charges.
Depending on the products installed and household energy usage, upgrades such as heat pump hot water systems, reverse-cycle air conditioning, and solar battery systems may help reduce ongoing energy bills while improving home performance.
