Finally, Quality Heating and Cooling You Can Actually Afford

Exclusively Powered by

You have been putting it off. The old split system that wheezes through summer and does nothing in winter. The gas heater that costs a fortune to run. The spare room that’s unusable half the year because it’s either boiling or freezing. The reason most Sydney households wait is simple: upfront cost. A proper ducted reverse cycle system or a multi-head split setup is a significant investment, and finding that kind of cash in one hit is hard.

The NSW Government just changed the equation. On 17 June 2026, they launched the Home Energy Saver program, a $557 million package designed specifically to remove the upfront cost barrier. Air Conditioning Guys is a Brighte Finance partner, which means we can now offer eligible Sydney households a zero-interest loan of up to $15,000 over 10 years to install a brand new heating and cooling system, with no fees, no interest, and nothing to pay upfront.

Ten years. Zero percent. Quality heating and cooling in your home before the next cold snap or heatwave, with repayments that are genuinely manageable.

What is the NSW Home Energy Saver?

It is a NSW Government-funded program delivered through approved finance providers Brighte and Plenti. The government covers the interest; you simply repay the amount you borrow over up to 10 years. No establishment fees. No account fees. No early repayment penalty. No fine print surprises.

What That Looks Like in Real Terms

Here is how the repayments work out. You can also use the Brighte calculator at brighte.com.au/calculator to model your own scenario.

Loan AmountMonthly RepaymentFortnightly Repayment
$5,000$42 / mo$19 / fn
$8,000$67 / mo$31 / fn
$10,000$83 / mo$38 / fn
$15,000$125 / mo$58 / fn

Note: These are rough estimates. Brighte will confirm your exact repayment schedule as part of your application. The point is: for less than what a lot of households spend on takeaway coffee each week, you can have a top-tier Daikin or Mitsubishi Electric system keeping your whole home comfortable, every day of the year.

How It Works With Air Conditioning Guys

From your first query to professional installation, we handle everything under one roof.

1

Free Onsite Quote

We come to your Sydney home, assess your space, and recommend the right system. No obligation, no pressure.

2

We prepare your Brighte application

As an approved Brighte vendor, we walk you through the loan application directly. You provide your income details; Brighte handles the credit assessment.

3

Approval is fast

Brighte’s process is built for home energy upgrades specifically. Once approved, your loan covers the cost of your system and installation up to $15,000.

4

We install your system

Same-day installation available on selected systems. Your home is comfortable from day one, and your repayments only begin once the system is operational.

5

You repay at 0% interest over up to 10 years

Nothing more than the amount you borrowed. Not a cent of interest.

Are You Eligible?

The Home Energy Saver loan is open to NSW homeowners who:

Own the property where the installation will take place (owner-occupiers and landlords both qualify)
Are an Australian citizen or permanent resident
Have a combined annual taxable household income of up to $210,000
Pass Brighte’s standard credit assessment

Additionally, a separate discount of up to $4,000 is opening later in 2026 for households earning under $80,000 per year or holding an eligible concession card (Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card, Veteran Gold Card, or Low Income Health Care Card). If you are eligible for both, the discount comes off first, then the zero-interest loan covers the remaining balance. That means some households could install a quality system with a $4,000 discount plus an interest-free loan for the rest.

Why Now Is the Time to Act

Three reasons to move on this now rather than later:

REASON 1

Funding Pool Is Capped

The NSW Government has allocated $480 million to the loan program, enough for roughly 32,000 households. Once the funds are allocated, new applications close. It is first in, first served.

REASON 2

The federal rebates step down on 1 January 2027

The federal Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) scheme, which takes thousands off a new system at installation, reduces at the end of this year. Locking in your install during 2026 captures the larger rebate before it drops.

REASON 3

Rising Seasonal Energy Bills

An old, inefficient system costs more to run and does less. A modern reverse cycle system can cut your heating costs significantly compared to gas or electric resistance heating, and cool more efficiently in summer. The savings on your energy bills often offset a big portion of the loan repayment from month one.
