Multi-split AC now qualifies for ESS and PDRS incentives
From July 1, multi-split air conditioners are eligible under both the ESS and PDRS schemes for residential and small business jobs.
What else has changed:
Minimum mandatory co-payment:
$500 for standard split systems,
$1,000 for a multi-split or ducted, up to 15W cooling,
$2,000 for a multi-split or ducted ranging from 15-20kW cooling and,
$3,000 for a multi-split or ducted for systems 20kW+ cooling.
What to watch
Certificate creation is capped, though system size isn't:
90 ESCs in cold climate zones
70 ESCs in average or hot climate zones
Up to 500 PRCs across all climate zones
Installs must also meet AS/NZS 5141:2018. Worth checking your process against that standard now, rather than at claim time.
Why NCBA
Over the years, we've built a reputation for paying customers reliably, without asking installers to change how they work to fit us.
