NECA EnergySmart

Are you an EnergySmart electrician?

The energy landscape is rapidly changing towards a greener movement. Consumers are seeking cleaner, more efficient forms of energy consumption. Both electricians and consumers must be prepared for the smart energy shift that’s happening today.

NECA WA and CET realise this shift towards a greener movement, and as such, have developed a program initiative that embodies energy efficiency known as NECA EnergySmart. This initiative aims at getting electricians trained and accredited to provide consumers with energy efficient recommendations and advice. 

Whether you're looking to develop an energy efficient lighting analysis for a customer's home, or devising a strategy to reduce energy costs for a client's electrical installation - becoming an accredited NECA EnergySmart electrician will enable you to provide the right energy efficient recommendations, auditing and analysis.
