SwitchedOn Podcast: Taking the pain out of an energy upgrade

Published by

Electrifying and decarbonising our homes isn’t always straightforward – we might not know where to start, what to prioritise, who to trust, what products to install, how much it will all cost, what rebates and incentives are available, can I get finance, what’s the best energy retailer that won’t rip me off. And despite the financial incentives that are now available for households and businesses the uptake on rebates remains low.

The process can be a minefield, and many people end up thinking, why bother.

A new website is now trying to take some of the pain out of the process. The founder of Upgrade IQ, Leigh Simpson, discusses how the site links customers with tradies and installers who they’ve already vetted, who can provide tailored information on government incentives, and design solutions for individual households, along with financing options.
