The Fine Print

  • For the purpose of this guarantee only improvements, retrofits or upgrades that pay back within 3 years or less are counted. You will never pay more for our energy audits than what you can save in the first 6 months after implementing our recommendations for retrofit or behavioural change.
  • Many suggested measures will be low-cost or no cost options, such as changing the way appliances are used.
  • If we cannot meet the 6-month benchmark figure, despite the client implementing the low-cost and no-cost options and retrofits that pay back within 3 years, we will refund the fee for service paid in full.
  • To assess a case for our guarantee, 12 months of pre- and post retrofit energy consumption data has to be provided, along with a schedule of all changes to electricial appliances, devices, systems and other consumers of power that have occurred after the energy audit was conducted.
  • NOTE: Electricity cost, prices for retrofit technology and trade labour change over time. Our audit reports are based on the current figures at the time of writing. Falling electricity prices, or rising cost for technology and/or labour can increase payback periods or reduce cost savings. While this is unlikely to happen in the near to mid term, our guarantee only applies to cost and prices remaining equal.

 

 EXAMPLE:   Food processing business

The business wants to upgrade their refrigeration systems and improve the efficiency of their hot water supply. The business uses approx. 150MWh of electricity per year, at a total cost of $31,000. An energy audit is requested.
Typcial cost of a AS3598:2014, level 2 audit is $4,000 to $8,000.PS-guarantee-CDR

 

Powersmart engineers estimate potential cost savings of at least 30% = $9,300 per year. The payback period for any improvement recommended will be less than 3 years.
The AS3598:2014 level 2 audit is quoted at $4,000.

This is less 5.1 months (less than 6 months) worth of cost savings at current electricity rates.
