$15k spend would be a big improvement (post currently says $35k)

Hilariously bad, thanks OP

$49 price beat at Dan’s plus almost $2.5 off due to 5% discount on gift cards

How much does Dan's price beat by? Stock at my local Dan's and the BWS nearby...

Deal doesn't actually specify a price?

I'm also in VIC, but not eligible for the Solar VIC rebates on solar or hot water due to (poorly structured) means testing. Still eligible…

Nah, far less with the gas heater, the gas there is generally completely isloated from the living spaces vs gas cooktops where it's…

Over in VIC it will be a massive saving to run vs gas, so an easy sell here.

No, it's just a home loan, one on which they'll give you a better rate if you've made some specific energy efficiency improvements to your…

idk about you but $8k/year in interest is a huge incentive for me

Many of the requirements do not require electrical upgrades although you do need to be all electric to qualify, so that may be a blocker -…

My broker (who doesn't give cashback, unfortunately) has said that he can help me with this - and I'm sure he's not doing it for free.

Frollo's data integration is good, but the app is limited, there's no desktop version, and they don't provide an easy way to export the…

The first $150k of household income goes to the mortgage, and with gas heating, hot water, and cooking solar doesn’t provide meaningful…

Rules me out, but with a massive mortgage and high interest rates I’ve not got a huge amount to spare. Meanwhile a retiree with no…

Maybe when they scrap the means testing on the SolarVIC stuff.

Don’t care, (profanity) cash

Yeah, this is the way, then you can pay as much as you like - also my understanding is that the instant $10 off is a deduction from the…
