Anybody know if this has been implemented? Means for cost saving for us



SAVE or Sustainability Achieved via Energy Efficiency, is a programme  aimed to improve energy efficiency in Malaysia through five initiatives.

The first initiative is to stimulate sales of energy-efficient appliances by providing rebates for refrigerators, air-conditioners and chillers to qualified consumers.

Under the initiative, qualified consumers who purchase electrical appliances that have five-star will be given a rebate up RM200.


For a start, the rebates would be for refrigerators and freezers for the domestic sector and chillers for businesses. RM200 will be given to a new refrigerator and RM100 for an air-conditioner.

The rebates would be given at the point of sale and the retailers would then claim the amount from the Government.

This government-funded initiative is part of Economic Transformation Programme,(ETP) and it is headed by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (MEGTW),

Government expected to announce the rebate on 7th July and it will cost the government RM50.2 million in 2011.

SAVE will be implemented through the collaboration between the Ministry and utility companies, Tenaga Nasional Bhd, Sarawak Electricity Bhd and Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd as well as the participating appliance manufacturing companies.

yahor i also hear bout this but dunno how true is it h,, anyone can confirm this or we should just go ask retailer ?

Yes. Heard of it.

begin first of July. refer ECM for more of the list product.

we just bought new fridge last month.... no rebate.

ECM?

Not only I didn't get my rebate for my Hitachi inverter fridge, the price has increased by RM100 within a month! I had to pay the extra amount.

i thought the rebate only starts effectively 7th July?

heard have to register with TNB
also the campaign start this 1st july
need more detail too

Not much detail at all. Google searched, only news.

If the rebate is given at point of sale by the vendor, then why have to register with TNB

Typical Malaysia way of implementing system. Did not give detail

Starting today (7 July 2011 - 2 pm) you can get RM200 rebate for fridge and RM100 rebate for air-conditioner.
For further information, you can check here http://www.saveenergy.gov.my/

Need to buy from specific shop. I think most of this shop sell at higher price. Don't have Legend SS2.

I just check today as it's 7th July however i been to 4 eletrical shop big and small at Puchong and 2 say u must claim from GOV ur self, 1 say big lies from GOV, another 1 say they heard of it but never got official notification from GOV that they can claim the 200 after given out the rebate to buyer ~ Malaysia

Because the authorized dealer are selling more expensive mah.

so call Malaysia Boleh

ESH gives good pricings if you nego. Normally they match Legend pricing if i let them know their price (not always 100% thoough). Aftersales service is good though.

Anyway on topic: You need to get the e-Voucher (got mine for A/C just now, fridge sadly not for me - consumption too high), take it with your electric bill and IC and go to the shop. then you get the discount.

Sidely sidestepping: I am planing on getting a new 5* fridge. Anyone has a voucher and doesnt want to use it in / around PJ and is willing to buy one with me at ESH SS2? Offering compensation - PM me.

how to get the e-Voucher? online?

https://saveenergy.tnb.com.my/Public/CheckEligibility.aspx

you can check whether you are qualified or not by providing your electricity bill account number and other particulars.. the system will show you the results..

by the way, I'm working with one of those participating retailer..

just sharing with you guys, you can try to bargain in some shops.. e.g if the price displayed for 5* fridge RM2799 try ask for RM2600 or as lowest as you can get coz some shops display the easy payment price (for customer who wants to use AEON Credit Service-ACS) so if you are going to pay cash, you can buy it at lower price... so if you have the fridge voucher you might get the fridge at RM2400 only.. anyway it's just an example..

When you buy, don't hesitate to bargain.. and most important, do some price survey 1st.. most shops offers price that are about RM150-RM100 higher/lower from their competitors.. make sure you get the best price...

thank you very much for your sharing ya will go check if i am eligible or not

I suggest you to check here:

http://www.saveenergy.gov.my/rebate/partic...Filter=SELANGOR

This program is limited.. I cannot recall the exact number but I think for the whole nation including Sabah & Sarawak, only 100,000 voucher are given out. And then they split it between all the states not equally but depends on the populations. Small state like Perlis only got about 1% of those 100,000 vouchers...


So, this one works like 'siapa cepat dia dapat'...

since you mentioned "Siapa cepat, dia dapat"

I am just wondering, if I pay deposit to on hold my orders before this rebate thing is implemented but I havent take appliance yet, in that case, do I still eligible for this thingy?

This campaign starts 2pm today, so if you already check your bill account using the link I already gave, you can directly print your voucher if you are eligible and use it..

Err, it's kinda betraying my company, but as consumers I think I want to share this with you.. my supervisor said today that, we(salesman & staffs) need to hold our customer if they bring the voucher to our shop and never let them get away and buy from other shop..

So I think you can try ask the salesman and convince them that you really want the appliance, and pay some deposit..










p/s: And those vouchers can be used for appliances with 5* model only...

malaysian gov....i never belief!!!

question is what the base price for the equipment? Is that control price item or negotiable?
Maybe endup without vouche still cheaper? Is that possiable?

I'll give more information when I'm free... wait guys!!!

I recently try to apply save energy voucher but the screen promt me invalid account?

not sure why

You have not been paying your bills?

RM3 outstanding only ...

I think the bill got to be at certain value to entitle rebate. Could be RM 100 and above.

You mean that your monthly bill needs to be more than certain amount, say RM100 to qualify for the rebate?

That is my guess, i could be wrong. Amount i am not sure too.

Hey guys.. The campaign works like this:

You can check your eligibility by providing your TNB bill account number here https://saveenergy.tnb.com.my/Public/CheckEligibility.aspx.
From what I've been told the system will check your bill for the past 6 month. From my observation today when the customer came to our shop and ask us to check their bills, if your bill is:

lower than RM50/month = eligible for aircond voucher only(RM100)
between RM50-RM100 = eligible for both aircond(RM100) and fridge(RM200)
between RM100-RM150 = eligible for aircond only(RM100)
higher than RM150 = might not eligible for both..

I cannot explain more on this, I'm just telling about what I saw today and based on my manager's briefing..I'll give you example..

Today, we've print the voucher for a customer namely Mr R.. So, this Mr R wants to buy fridge from our shop. The voucher only allow you to buy 5* energy saving fridge with nett capacity off 400L. So Mr R decide to take TOSHIBA fridge model GR-W26MPB with 240L capacity. Because he has been our loyal customer, we gave him the floor price (the lowest price for cash payment at our shop) which is RM880. So, Mr R only has to pay us RM680 cash and gave us the RM200 fridge voucher to us. As simple as that!

The price may vary from other shop, but they cannot be too much difference I think..

And you can check here http://www.saveenergy.gov.my/rebate/ee-appliance-listing as reference for the model that are available, and then using that model, go to the official website of that brand and check the specifications coz I think the one provided here http://www.saveenergy.gov.my/rebate/ee-appliance-listing were kinda less accurate..

Is that helping?

is this voucher applicable in all electrical shop? if specific shop? can someone here listed down please..

you can get all information from here http://www.saveenergy.gov.my/ just browse through the links provided..

or if you want to check the participating retailers click here http://www.saveenergy.gov.my/rebate/participating-retailers .. Select your current location (state) and they will display the list of shops together with the address...

Hitachi inverter fridge? the 3-door mirror-finished door model?

hmm then i wanna ask if i'm buying new house and dun have TNB bills ? meaning not entitle ? should i get the bill account number from previous owner ? how bout i get mine from my father at Perak state ? can print the voucher and use at KL ? and also can use mutiple voucher ??

Only the account's holder can use the voucher to buy the appliances. I don't think you can take your father's voucher from Perak and use it at KL.. Because that would bring trouble to the retailer(shop) when they're going to claim the voucher...

One voucher valid for one purchase only. because the voucher number generated when you print the voucher will be use by the retailer to claim from TNB. And you need to give your original TNB bill (the latest bill that you have paid) together with a copy of your IC to the shop when you want to buy the item.



If you buy from retailer that have outlets across few states, you may be able to get the fridge using your father's voucher. However it depends on the retailer management itself.. Is this confusing? For example, if your father use his voucher to buy fridge from Courts Mammoth in Perak, if Courts's management allow their outlet in KL to deliver the fridge to you in KL, then it is okay..

I'm telling from what we have done. One of our customer bought the fridge from our outlet but ask us to send the fridge to her brother's house in Alor Star.. What we do is create the sales order using the voucher's holder name and address (the address on the sales order must be the same with the address from the TNB bill). The payment was also made at our outlet. Then we fax the delivery order to Alor Star outlet and ask them to deliver the fridge for us.

He can use his father's voucher if he has a photocopy of the original bill. Last I checked, you only need to submit a photocopy of the original bill and not the bill itself to the retailers. If the Ministry decides to check who bought the item, they have a copy of your IC anyway. As long as the voucher number is valid, you can redeem it.

As for the address of the sales order being the same as the IC/bill, that is dependent on the retailers. The voucher is not dependent on the address.

The program was created by the Ministry to encourage the use of energy efficient appliances. So, it really doesn't matter if you are buying it for someone else, as long as someone is using energy efficient appliances.

may i know anyone has print out the voucher?caz i have checked my account through the website but it stated there account not found.my monthly bill is less than rm80.or i need go to tnb to get my voucher?

anyone wants A/C voucher? i am looking for a fridge voucher. willing to pay - PM me.

I have printed it before. When did you register for your TNB account?

i juz online registered with tnb e-service.is that correct?or i need go to other place register?thanks.

Oh.. I'm not sure because what I've been telling was applied at my workplace.. so I'm just sharing my experience.. thanks for sharing..

I believe that the database for TNB is only for customers registered before/on 31 May 2011.

No worries, I am also just sharing what I know

the database is very confusing......like my case my new house still under reno of course the electric bill wont exceed rm50, then it says i only entitle to ac rebate, not for fridge rebate? WTF? i also need to buy new fridge mah, this fridge rebate only can use for existing customer who change new energy saving fridge?

really 1-malaysia type of policy......

who have been use voucher for fridge??coz there told me if use voucher will follow retail price..no discount for it..??

actually i m using tnb since 2008.but dunno y my account not found.then i try to check my malay frd account,only valid for air cond voucher..not eligible for fridge...dunno how this system run..very confusing..

I actually been to one of their roadshow at Giant Kelana Jaya around 2 weeks ago.

You need to have existing account that has exceeded a particular amount for 6 months before you are eligible. (err it may be 3 months ... I forgot leh )

You can print the voucher from the website if you qualify. To go this go to the website -

http://www.saveenergy.gov.my/

They told me promotion last until around October (the officer at the roadshow)

There is a list of qualified appliances model (air-cond and fridge) and also a list of qualified vendors.

Go to these vendor and haggle and when you agreed the price then whip out your voucher and get the extra rebate.

Points to consider.
5-Star rated refrigerator and/or air conditioner,especially those with "inverter" (mainly air cond) are of course are priced at a premium.
The energy savings only comes in to effect when you switch on these air cond more than 8 hours each time. Less hours you end up paying more energy bills! (the salesman from 2 of the appliance companies brand at the roadshow confirms this)

Based on this it might only makes sense to consider the fridge, as I believe not many people switch on their air cond at home more than 8 hours every time.

I am not eligeble as mine is a newly purchased house that is now being renovated.

This post has been edited by phoenix69: Jul 19 2011, 11:00 PM

where to find list of vendor ???

f*king sohai. means i'm doing reno now for my new place and i am not eligible.

yes.....fxcking useless for the fridge rebate for newly reno house....idiotic policy!!!

mostly ppl get the air cond voucher only..anyone get the fridge voucher??dunno how they set for air cond or fridge voucher??stupid system..

I use my rented condo bill, hahaha can get fridge and aircond voucher too ~ but dunno the qualified vendor price would it be higher then other outside electronic shop, if higher then no point la lol

Ahh you might want to check with TNB on this, and bring a copy of your bill. For the fridge, it is only eligible for people that use 200-400kWh per month for an average of 6 months. So your friend might not have qualified for the fridge. Aircond is open to all so most of us should get it..

You can find it here: http://www.saveenergy.gov.my/rebate/participating-retailers

As mentioned above, they calculate using a 6-month period, which is from Dec 2010 to May 2011 I believe.. and then if you are using 200-400kWh a month on average, then you get the rebate for the fridge

The retailers should give you the RM200/100 rebate on top of whatever offer price they gave to you. So if you haggle the price to RM1,000, and then give your voucher, you should get the unit at RM800 then.

There is no reason for them not to do so because the rebate is not funded by them, it is funded by the government. So the retailers will get their RM200 or RM100 back.

Sadly to say, i do initial survey, thos shop offering rebate is not selling the equipments cheap. I go to one without this offer is even cheaper than the other 2 shops i ask with rebate. (even after rebate)

You can try asking the shop that is cheaper to sign up for the program. It doesn't cost them anything after all. That way, you can claim your rebate when they sign up.

You can get them to contact the people here to sign up http://www.saveenergy.gov.my/about/contact-us

What do you mean?

which shop in kl can offer discount +rebate??mostly i ask also is rebate from original price..no discout if using voucher

Wait for jusco sales, think they take the rebate + the sale.

hi all, want to ask, is it only 400litre and below with 5 star energy logo only eligible?

my tnb bills is under my landlord name..cant find in the faq
so am i eligible?

For the fridge, that is correct. You can check a list of models available under the brands on www.saveenergy.gov.my

If you are renting the place, you need to get permission from your landlord first. Then go into the website and click "I am not a registered TNB customer", it is basically a declaration that you already have permission to use the bill.

With the account number on the bill, you can then check which vouchers you are eligible for

any shop without price mark up to recommend, anyone?

is fridge and aircon rebate eligible for electricity bill for commercial property too? (eg shop lot)

This program is only for residential units

anyone keen on the fridge voucher? I wanna let go. PM your offer. Thanks
PS: Use until end of this month only

Jintex ..google it..they accept voucher

https://saveenergy.tnb.com.my/ is DOWN???Can't access.

guys, must the voucher be printed in colour? some sales staff say the voucher must be printed in colour , some say can print in black and white. which is which? they must be crazy to think that everyone has access to colour printer.

The vouchers can be printed in black and white. If you find any stores asking you to print in colour, then perhaps you can email the people listed on www.saveenergy.gov.my and highlight your issue.

I am sure they will be able to help you. Alternatively, you can also clarify on their FB page, https://www.facebook.com/SaveEnergyMalaysia

I can't connect to www.saveenergy.tnb.com.my (as given in www.saveenergy.gov.my)
Anyone is having similar problem??

There were some server maintenance happening the other day. I think it is fixed now

The requirement for refrigerator in Peninsula Malaysia is now revised to 800kWh so if you are not eligible for it before, you might be now

But the fridge is still 400L or below. sigh

That it is. It is still quite big, quite sufficient for a small household.

If you notice, 400L and 500L energy consumption are only slightly higher.

got my fridge with the discounted price rebate after much problem and time rushing
time rushing cos i have to deal with everything myself for my new house..
anyway..
managed to get it finally
the thing is i've just applied for my meter in August.. after reading here seems have to meet some quota fo kWh before can apply so I used my sister's bill instead

and i had to goto SESB (Sabah) to get it printed after knowing my own bill is not accepted (they mention, those that applied for new metre from May and earlier has good chance to get approved, while mine in August.. figures)

so used my sister's one and I got it

When you fill up the rebate form, it will ask for the TNB account number, name and address.
Must the name and address match the TNB account number?

Which state are you in? If you are from Peninsula Malaysia, then you don't need to match it. Just need to declare that you are not the owner of the account. Then you can use your own name and address.

Thanks for your reply. I am from KL so it means I can put a different name and address.

who wants the voucher rm100 for inverter aircond & rm200 for inv fridge....i am not using it. Please pm me....

what happen if you have printed out the vouchar but never use until it expires?
The expiry date is only one month... zzz

Can i still print it out if i never buy anything now?

Anyone knows if above is possible i.e re-print the voucher if I didn't manage to use it within 1 month?

To use the vouchers, the person would need the TNB for that account and also your IC copy before he can use the voucher to purchase.

Im trying to print the vouchers but cant get it. How to i enable the background colors from the page setup? There is no such command.

Please check if the equipment salling higher price if using vouchers...
* This was informed by the saleman when I purchase the aircon...

are those vouchers still available ? i tried to print, it said no more for both fridge and air-con in Penang :-(

I just brought a fridge on Jusco member's day using the rebate. Pretty huge discount. But one small problem is that there is a limit to the size of your fridge.


You can use another person's voucher, but you need a photocopy of the bill and the owner's IC.

You can print as a pdf file using a software like doPDF, then print the pdf.

u sure bro?
just printed my aircond voucher today. confirm aircond still on in selangor but not sure abt fridge as i redeemed my fridge voucher last year.

btw, anyone looking to sell their fridge + aircond voucher, pls pm me...need another 1 more set for a new crib

too bad, for penang, both air-con and fridge voucher , both finished !!

i got one refrigerator voucher, offer me
