This program was a partnership between the Yarra Energy Foundation (YEF) and Banyule City Council (BCC), with Reclaim Energy & Expert Hot Water, and Green Home Green Planet as the suppliers/installers.

Better Energy Banyule (BEB) was a program designed to make installing energy efficiency upgrades simple and cost effective for households within the City of Banyule.

The three products to be offered through this program were:

• Hot Water Heat Pumps 
  (Reclaim)
• Split System Air Conditioners
  (Mitsubishi & Fujitsu)
• Induction Cooktops
  (Westinghouse, Euro Appliances, Artusi, & Omega)

YEF were proud to partner with BCC to help the Banyule community upgrade their appliances to save money and reduce emissions.

Improved energy efficiency in your home does not only have environmental benefits, such as lowering greenhouse gas emissions, but also an economic benefit by reducing your energy bills.

Electrification of your home is the future.

Gas and coal energy prices will continue to rise. Renewable energy will continue to get cheaper.

Replacing any existing fossil fuel appliances and devices, such as gas water heaters, HVAC units and cooktops with electric alternatives will not only reduce your emissions and energy bills, but prepare you for the clean energy transition.
