Pick the job you do. Swift Certalyst (swiftcertalyst.com.au) ensures you get paid for it faster, safer, and without administrative headaches. We deliver market-leading certificate creation and financial settlements for accredited trades across Australia.
Whether you're replacing old gas hot water tanks in Ballarat, retrofitting LED high-bays in Western Sydney, or commissioning a commercial battery, our team verifies documentation within hours.
From residential heat pumps to multi-story warehouse commercial lighting, we provide accredited creation pathways across state and federal jurisdictions.
Unlock the highest certificate yields across Australia by upgrading inefficient electric or gas water heaters to high-efficiency air-source heat pumps.
Industrial high-bay, retail shopfront, and commercial office retrofits designed to replace energy-draining mercury vapour, metal halide, and T8 fluorescents.
Replacing obsolete resistive electric heating and uncertified gas ducted systems with ultra-efficient reverse-cycle inverter heat pumps.
Residential and commercial hot water upgrades represent the single highest volume certificate creation activity across Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia. Swift Certalyst manages both the state environmental certificates (VEECs, ESCs, REPS) and Federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), ensuring plumbers and installation firms maximize their upfront cash rebate.
Rebates in Victoria are heavily weighted toward transitioning homes away from natural gas. Replacing a decommissioned gas storage water heater with an approved air-source heat pump yields substantial VEEC certificates under Activity 1D. Under ESC regulations, the existing gas unit must be permanently decommissioned and rendered unusable with photographic proof of disabled gas connections.
In NSW, Accredited Certificate Providers (ACPs) generate Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs) by replacing inefficient electric storage and gas systems with high-efficiency heat pumps meeting AS/NZS 4234 performance modeling. Installations must be performed by licensed plumbers and registered electricians with compliant Fair Trading compliance documentation.
Installers are legally permitted to claim both Commonwealth STCs (under the Renewable Energy Electricity Act) and State-based Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEEC or ESC) for the same heat pump installation. Swift Certalyst unifies both claims into a single Swift Onsite mobile submission with a single payout.
1. Geotagged photo of existing installed unit prior to removal showing serial plate.
2. Photo of decommissioned unit showing drill hole or permanent disabling mechanism.
3. Photo of new heat pump installed showing electrical isolation switch and pressure relief discharge.
4. Licensed Plumber Certificate of Compliance (VBA in Victoria, CCOW in NSW).
All installed heat pump water heaters must appear on official government approved lists before incentives can be generated:
Commercial lighting retrofits under state schemes require strict compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) Section J6 and Australian Standards.
Post-upgrade light levels must meet or exceed minimum illuminance requirements for worker safety and task performance.
The installed Watts per square meter must strictly sit within maximum permissible limits for the building classification.
Fluorescent tubes and HID lamps must be sent to an EPA-licensed recycler. Recycling receipts are mandatory audit documentation.
Commercial lighting retrofits deliver immediate, demonstrable kilowatt-hour reductions for warehouses, logistics hubs, manufacturing facilities, car parks, and corporate offices. Swift Certalyst serves as your Accredited Certificate Provider (ACP) in NSW and Accredited Person (AP) in Victoria to turn these reductions into bankable revenue.
Replacement of 400W metal halide fixtures with 100W–150W high-efficacy LED fittings in factory floors and distribution centres with integrated motion and daylight harvesting sensors.
Upgrading T8 and T5 recessed fluorescent troffers with standardized LED panels and batten fixtures across commercial tenancies, retail stores, and multi-tenant facilities.
Retrofitted perimeter floodlights, carpark pole mounts, and architectural canopy lighting delivering security, improved lux uniformity, and 70%+ energy savings.
Send our lighting team your lighting count and floor area before quoting. We supply a formal yield assessment specifying exact ESC and VEEC incentive amounts.
Transitioning Australian residential properties and commercial premises from gas ducted heating or outdated electric resistance bar heaters to inverter reverse-cycle split systems is a premier decarbonisation mechanism under state efficiency schemes.
Activity 6 provides rebates for decommissioning inefficient space heaters (including ducted gas heaters and central electric furnaces) and replacing them with high-efficiency reverse-cycle air conditioners. Incentives scale with the Star Rating and Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) tested under GEMS standards.
NSW ESS supports residential and small commercial space conditioning upgrades. Units must be installed by an ARC (Australian Refrigeration Council) licensed technician holding appropriate refrigerant handling authorisations and a qualified electrician.
For commercial office buildings, retail centres, and hotels, Swift Certalyst offers deemed and measurement & verification (M&V) pathways for central variable refrigerant flow (VRF) and water-cooled chillers, unlocking significant capital relief on major mechanical plant upgrades.
• Installer ARC licence number and electrical contractor licence number.
• Geotagged before and after photos showing make, model, and serial badges.
• Photo of decommissioned outdoor compressor and indoor air handler.
• Customer declaration of space conditioning comfort and ownership.
Refrigeration and air conditioning contractors rely on Swift Certalyst for consistent weekly cash flow. We insulate your trade business from lengthy regulatory processing delays:
Built from the ground up to eliminate paperwork for electricians and plumbers. Swift Onsite automates geotagged evidence capture, checks barcodes against Clean Energy Council (CEC) databases in real time, and allows instant customer digital signing.
We know what it’s like on a roof or in a utility cupboard with dirty hands, fading daylight, and poor mobile reception. We created the Swift Onsite app so your tradespeople never have to return to a site because an inspector rejected a blurry photo or missing serial.
Our in-app validation prompts warn your technicians before leaving the site if required serial photos or safety compliance certificates are missing.
Install a heat pump in Victoria? Capture data once and our system automatically creates both Federal STCs and State VEECs simultaneously.
Export Recipient Created Tax Invoices (RCTIs) directly into Xero, MYOB, or your custom ERP, showing explicit GST breakdowns for easy bookkeeping.
Log in anytime via desktop or mobile to monitor the exact progress of every batch from submission, pre-creation audit, to payment disbursement.
Why hundreds of Australia’s leading renewable contractors, plumbers, and electricians partner with us.
