How much can be saved by updating to an energy-efficient air conditioning system?
Upgrading to an energy-efficient air conditioning system is a very smart move, especially if you’re a business that wants to reduce energy use and save money on energy bills! In fact, installing an energy-efficient air conditioning system can save your business up to 50% on your current energy costs AND improve your air-conditioning quality as well. This can add up to some very significant savings over time.
In addition to saving money, upgrading to an energy-efficient air conditioning system can also help your business reduce its carbon footprint. The current range of modern energy-efficient air conditioners use less energy, which means they produce fewer emissions. This can help businesses like yours meet sustainability goals and contribute to a cleaner environment.

Who is eligible for the air conditioning rebate in NSW?
If you are a household or small business located in New South Wales and you meet certain eligibility criteria as defined by the Energy Savings Scheme Rule (ESS Rule), you’re eligible for the air conditioning rebate in NSW. In particular, to qualify for the Commercial Air Conditioning Rebate NSW, your business must meet the following criteria:
- It must be located in New South Wales.
- You must either own the premises where the installation will take place or have approval from your landlord for the installation.
- You must provide consent for the collection of relevant data for rebate processing.
- You must ensure that both the removal of existing equipment and installation of the new air conditioner are carried out or supervised by a Home Energy Efficiency Retrofit (HEER) approved installer.
- You must engage an Accredited Certificate Provider before the implementation date.
- You must purchase an air conditioner from the approved GEMS (Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards Register) list of eligible models as defined by the GEMS Determination 2019.
- Your new air conditioner must have its cooling and heating capacities recorded in the GEMS register.
- It must meet applicable energy efficiency standards and its performance must meet or exceed set cooling (and heating if applicable) benchmarks specified by SCHEDULE 1 Peak Demand Reduction Scheme Rule (PDRS) Table HVAC2.1 (new) or Table HVAC2.2 (replacement), and the ESS Rule Table F4.4.
How much will upgrading to an energy efficient air conditioner cost?
Courtesy of the NSW and Federal Governments, Efficient Energy Group can swap your current air conditioner to a new energy efficient air conditioner for just $2100 after rebates. If you require a completely new installation, we are currently offering these for $2,600 after rebates. This includes installation by fully qualified, our fully insured and licensed HEER approved contractors and will result in significant savings for your business. However, you’ll need to hurry because the rebate is set to expire in 2024.

How do energy-efficient AC systems work?
Energy-efficient AC systems are efficient because they prioritise BOTH cooling efficiency AND energy conservation. They incorporate technology like advanced variable speed compressors and motors that are designed to maintain a consistent air temperature while minimising energy consumption.
How do Energy-efficient AC systems do this?
Pumps and compressors use significantly more energy to start up than they do to run. As older air conditioners switch on and off cyclically to maintain a consistent air temperature, they use more energy (a lot) every time they have to switch on. Energy-efficient AC systems with variable speed compressors and motors on the other hand slow down or speed up to meet required output demand. This uses far less energy than switching on and off all the time.
Energy-efficiency AC systems also incorporate other cost saving technologies like zoning, intelligent sensors, and user-programmable thermostats to detect temperature variations and adjust cooling output accordingly. This allows users to set specific temperature schedules and use zoning to ensure the AC only comes on when needed and only in zones where it’s required, which further reduces energy consumption.
Modern ACs also incorporate advanced filtration systems to improve indoor air quality and optimise airflow. This is important in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic where the virus was proven to spread via HVAC systems.
Energy efficiency: reduce your energy bills with an eco-friendly AC
It won’t come as much surprise to learn that your AC contributes significantly to your energy bill! In many cases, it’s as much as 20%. An eco-friendly AC can considerably reduce this by up to 50%. You’ll also have the satisfaction of knowing you’re contributing to a cleaner, greener future by producing less emissions, and reducing your carbon footprint.
In addition to taking advantage of the Commercial Air Conditioning Rebate NSW and installing an eco-friendly AC, you can also reduce your energy bill with a few simple measures:
- ⦿ Maintain your air conditioner correctly (change the air filter regularly, inspect it for damage and leaks on a regular basis, get it serviced as per manufacturer specifications), and keep it clean.
- ⦿ Seal air leaks around doors and windows.
- ⦿ Set the AC’s thermostat to a comfortable working temperature and leave it there.
- ⦿ Use a programmable thermostat to automatically turn the AC unit off when it isn’t required.
- ⦿ Consider installing solar panels to help generate some of the power needed to run the AC.
What are the benefits of energy-efficient AC?
Installing an energy-efficient AC has many benefits.
They can significantly improve indoor air quality
Modern energy-efficient AC units are equipped with better filters that can more effectively remove pollutants like mould, dust, pollen, pet hairs, and even some viruses, from the air. If you or your employees suffer from respiratory disorders, this is good news indeed! Energy-efficient AC systems can also help reduce humidity, which reduces potentially harmful mould and mildew growth.
Energy-efficient AC units can reduce your carbon footprint
An eco-friendly AC uses far less energy than older AC units, which reduces your energy consumption and thus the emissions produced by commercial power generation. That in turn reduces your carbon footprint, which is good news for the environment!
Energy-efficient AC units typically last longer than traditional AC units
Your new energy-efficient, eco-friendly air conditioner has been designed to operate a lot more efficiently than the one you probably have installed currently. That translates to less wear and tear on components and a longer operating life. It’s also made from better quality materials and components, and is relatively easy to maintain. These are all long-term cost saving benefits.
Modern energy efficient air conditioner units run more consistently & quieter than traditional AC units
Modern energy efficient air conditioners with variable speed compressors and motors are designed to adjust their speed in response to air temperature. Not only does this allow them to maintain a more consistent air temperature, they’re also quieter because they’re not continually switching on and off, and having to run at full (noisy) speed whenever they switch on
