Why Free

I will explain why we are offering roof insulation free
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Environment Minister Peter Garrett said new guidelines were now available to allow 2.7 million householders to check if their homes are eligible.
It means that instead of waiting until July 1, households can apply now and arrange for the work to be done and then submit the receipts to the government to collect a rebate.
After July 1, the Government will pay suppliers upfront for the work to be done in eligible households.
The program provides free ceiling insulation worth up to $1600 for the homes of eligible owner-occupiers, insulation worth up to $1000 for private rental properties and a rebate worth up to $1600 for installing a solar hot water system.
Mr Rudd said people could see if they qualified by checking online at www.environment.gov.au/energyefficiency.
The $3.9 billion program was announced earlier this month as part of the $42 billion economic stimulus package.
