ABOUT THE ENERGY REBATES

Are you missing out on the NSW Energy Savings Scheme?

Most homeowners in the Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury, and Western Sydney are eligible for significant government-backed incentives – yet thousands of dollars in rebates go unclaimed every year.

At Dann’s Electrical, we make it easy to slash your power bills. As a licensed partner of an IPART-accredited ESS Certificate Provider, we deliver premium energy upgrades with the rebate applied as an upfront discount. You get the best technology, professional installation, and immediate savings without the paperwork headache.

Whether you are looking to slash your hot water costs with a high-efficiency heat pump or upgrade to a modern air conditioning system, our team provides the expert, licensed service required to qualify for these incentives.

Contact us today for a free eligibility assessment and discover how much you can save on your next energy-efficient upgrade.

 

why homeowners & businesses are utilising the ess scheme

01

IMMEDIATE UPFRONT DISCOUNTS

Unlike traditional rebates that require you to pay in full and claim money back later, the ESS allows us to apply the incentive as an upfront discount. We handle the complex paperwork and certificate creation behind the scenes so that you see a reduced price on your quote from day one.

02

Drastic Reduction in energy Overheads

By upgrading to high-efficiency systems you can slash the energy consumption of “energy-hungry” appliances by significant margins, leading to lower electricity bills every single quarter.

03

Verified High-Quality Hardware

The scheme only covers products that meet rigorous NSW Government energy-performance and safety standards. This means you are getting a premium, high-durability appliance that has been vetted for its ability to perform in Australian conditions.

04

EXPERIENCED + QUALIFIED INSTALLATIONS

To provide these incentives, the installation must be performed by a licensed electrician working under a strict compliance framework. Our fully qualified team emsures your upgrade is installed safely, meets all NSW building codes, and is fully insured, giving you long-term peace of mind.

Dann, Hamish, and the team came out to perform a complicated three phase and board upgrade, including sub boards in my sheds. I found the whole team to be polite, and hard working. It was a very challenging job, but Dann's team did not compromise on quality or safety. I'm impressed with thier professional approach to the job, and they left the site tidy and clean. I will absolutely be calling them again next time I need works done.

Exceptional electrician, experience really makes all the difference! We honestly cannot recommend Dan highly enough! We'd been dealing with an incredibly frustrating, intermittent electrical issue in our kitchen for ages. The power would trip seemingly out of nowhere, sometimes only once every six months, making it almost impossible to pinpoint the cause. We'd spent so much time troubleshooting, unplugging appliances and trying to work out what on earth was going on. Just when we thought we'd figured it out, the problem would eventually happen again! We finally called Dan, and honestly, we were absolutely mind blown. Within less than five minutes of arriving, he had figured out the issue! After all the time we'd spent scratching our heads over it, watching him identify the problem so quickly was incredible. It really showed us the difference that genuine experience, technical knowledge and expertise make. What had been an ongoing headache for us was something Dan was able to work through almost immediately. We're so glad we called him. It's such a relief to have someone who genuinely knows their trade and can get to the bottom of a problem without hours of guesswork. If you're looking for an electrician who knows what they're doing, is experienced and can troubleshoot those frustrating electrical issues that others might struggle to pinpoint, give Dan a call. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again. Thanks, Dan, you've earned every one of these five stars!

Had some light fittings changed and quotes done for an electrical box overhaul. Electrician and admin staff were super helpful and professional. The jobs were completed to a high standard. I will definitely be using this company again.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I hired Dann's Electrical to perform a switchboard upgrade at my home in Oct 2026. Communication from the outset was phenomenal and they instilled more confidence than the 3 other competitive others I'd invited to tender for the works. Pricing was more competitive to boot. When Dan's tradesman Hamish and apprentice Cody rocked up with the new board, due to unforeseen circumstances, it quickly became apparent that there was much more to the job than had initially been expected. This is after the Level 2 electrician had disconnected us from street power and left. There was no turning back now. Without going into too much detail, Hamish and Cody's day had gone from a reasonably paced knock-off-on-time job to an "oh f*************k" kinda day. Not once did the boys grumble or moan or swear (as I certainly would have.) Nor did they let a moment go to waste. They were in it now and they didn't stop until the job was done. Upon finishing the job, I couldn't fault a single thing from their professionalism, the presentation and cable management of the new board to their clean-up effort at the end of the job when all they would have wanted was to go home a take a long shower in silence to wash the helluva day off 'em. BONUS POINTS! As with any older home, some of the building materials the fellas encountered were aged out and brittle: a roof tile broke as they were putting it back in. What did they do? Silicon up the remains and not let me find out until the next big rain because "where are we going to find a replacement for a 40+ year old tile?" Nope! The industrious young blokes jumped on fb marketplace, miraculously tracked down a local seller who had something that matched and drove out to his place to pick up a replacement (with a spare for me to keep.) I said at the top of this spiel that if i could give 5 stars, I would. I hope you now understand why. Dan, if you're reading this: don't let Hamish and Cody out of your sight. Any employer would be lucky to have 2 young guns of this calibre in their stable. Hats off, boys!

Dan came out to my place early on a Saturday morning to fix problems with the wiring in my switchboard, so we could get our power back after a storm. He got us going and provided advice on what we might want to look at upgrading. Dan was very nice and, arrived when he said he would, and did a great job.

OUR EXPERTISE

ELIGIBLE PRODUCTS & SERVICES

HEAT PUMP HOT WATER SYSTEMS

This is currently the most popular upgrade in NSW. By replacing an old electric or gas hot water tank with a high-efficiency heat pump, you can reduce your water heating energy use by up to 70%.

HIGH-EFFICIENCY AIR CONDITIONING

If your split system is more than 10 years old, it’s costing you more than it should. We can upgrade you to a modern, energy-efficient unit that uses far less power to keep you comfortable.

VARIABLE SPEED POOL PUMPS

Pool pumps are often the second-highest energy users in a home. We replace old single-speed pumps with “variable speed” models that only use the power they actually need.

PEAK DEMAND REDUCTION (PDRS)

In addition to the ESS, we participate in the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme. This incentivises technology that helps reduce the “load” on the NSW grid during hot summer afternoons.

Frequently asked questions

Choosing the right electrician shouldn’t leave you guessing. That’s why we’ve pulled together answers to the most common questions our  clients ask.

Didn’t find what you’re looking for? Feel free to contact us – our team is always happy to help!

Is this a government rebate I have to claim back?

No. Unlike traditional rebates where you pay full price and wait for a refund, the Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) works as an upfront discount. We handle the creation of “Energy Savings Certificates” through our accredited partner and deduct that value directly from your quote. You only pay the remaining balance.

 

How much will I actually save on my power bills?

While savings vary based on your usage, the average household replacing an old electric hot water system with a heat pump sees a reduction in water-heating costs of 60% to 70%. This typically translates to a saving of $400–$600 per year on electricity bills.

Is there a minimum payment?

As of late 2025, the NSW Government introduced a mandatory minimum co-payment of $1,000 for heat pump hot water installations. This rule was designed to protect consumers by ensuring that only high-quality, durable systems are installed by licensed professionals, eliminating “free” low-quality units that were prone to failure.

Who is eligible for these energy-saving incentives?

Most NSW households and small businesses are eligible. To qualify, you generally need to be replacing an existing, inefficient system (like an old electric storage or gas hot water heater) with a high-efficiency model. If you have already received an ESS discount for the same appliance at your current address, you may not be eligible again.

Do I need to use a specific brand of appliance?

Yes. To qualify for the discount, the product must be on the NSW Government’s Approved Products List. These items have been rigorously tested for energy efficiency and performance in Australian conditions. We only supply and install brands that meet these high standards and come with the required warranties.

What happens to my old unit?

As part of the scheme’s compliance, we are required to decommission and remove your old, inefficient appliance. This ensures it is recycled properly and – more importantly – that it isn’t put back into use elsewhere, which would defeat the purpose of reducing the state’s total energy demand.

What kind of warranty do I get?

Under the 2026 rules, all heat pump hot water systems installed through the scheme must come with a minimum 5-year warranty covering the tank, the compressor, and all major components. This provides you with long-term peace of mind that your investment is protected

Are your installers "from the government"?

No. We are an independent, licensed electrical business. To offer these discounts, we partner with an Accredited Certificate Provider (ACP) who is authorised by the NSW Government (IPART) to manage the scheme’s administration and compliance.
