June 19, 2025If you live in Canberra and your power bills are creeping up, here’s the good news: you can upgrade to an energy-efficient air conditioning system with $3 upfront and no interest — all thanks to the ACT Government’s Sustainable Household Scheme.
Whether it’s keeping cool during scorching summers or staying warm through frosty winters, Canberrans are turning to smarter climate control — and saving big in the process.
Let’s break down how it works, and how Delta Air Conditioning & Heating can help you take full advantage
What Is the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme?
Launched by the ACT Government, the Sustainable Household Scheme is designed to help Canberra households transition to more energy-efficient, climate-friendly technologies.
Here’s what it offers:
- 3% interest finance on eligible products
- Loan amounts from $2,000 to $15,000
- Repayment terms up to 10 years
- No upfront deposit
- Available to homeowners and landlords
This scheme covers a wide range of upgrades that make your home more sustainable — and more affordable to run.
How Does Brighte Finance Work?
The 3% interest loans are administered by Brighte, a trusted Australian finance provider. The application process is simple, secure, and 100% online.
Once you’re approved, Brighte pays your supplier (that’s us — Delta), and you repay Brighte in manageable, interest-free instalments.
That means:
- No credit card stress
- No hidden charges
- Just predictable, transparent payments
It’s a win-win: you upgrade your home, cut energy costs, and pay it off gradually — without interest.

Canberra’s Climate: Why Energy-Efficient Systems Matter
Canberra isn’t just cold — it’s extremely cold in winter and seriously hot in summer. With temperature swings of 30°C or more in a single day, traditional systems often can’t keep up — and they chew through energy trying.
By switching to a modern inverter system, you can:
- Use up to 40% less power
- Maintain a consistent, comfortable temperature
- Slash your energy bills year-round
And because you’re using cleaner technology, you’re also cutting your household carbon emissions — another step toward a more sustainable future.
