About our rebate program
The City of Casey are supporting residents to improve the efficiency of their home and save money on their energy bills.
Residents can hire energy and water efficiency home audit kits from their local library. The kit includes equipment and instructions to measure the efficiency of your home or business and shares tips to reduce your emissions and save you money. Visit Connected Libraries and search for ‘water and energy efficiency audit kit’.
