Did you know...
If the install of your reverse cycle heating and cooling means you no longer need a gas supply (if your replaced gas heating was your only remaining appliance), you will be able to disconnect your gas supply, either through plugging the line or completely decommissioning the meter. The cost for residential gas network disconnection through ActewAGL is $136.90 (as of September 2021) and can be included under the loan. Doing this will also save you about $350 annually as you will no longer need to pay a gas connection charge, so disconnecting is recommended if you will no longer have any gas appliances.

- Check your eligibility as an ACT household, including being under the Unimproved Value (UV) thresholds. You can check the UV of your home on Access Canberra here.

Once approved we can start the installation process. Once installed, the loan provider will be in contact to confirm installation and fortnightly payments on the loan begin.
