Why is this costing me $0. Sounds like a scam for sure. How do you make money if I'm paying $0?
By choosing to have one of our products installed, you are also taking part in this energy-efficiency scheme. When we upgrade old technology to new energy-efficient technology we are able to calculate the carbon emissions that will be avoided over a certain period of time.
The scheme then allows us to create energy-efficiency certificates based on this value, which we then sell in a certificate market place. Energy retailers and other parties are obligated through legislation to purchase and surrender these certificates to help offset the energy they generate.
By generating and selling these certificates we are able to subsidise your upgrade, and in some cases carry this out for free. Ecovantage is accredited by the scheme regulators to be able to create these certificates, bound by strict compliance requirements that ensure customers receive service with integrity.
