Household Sector

Households play an important role in mitigating climate change. This can be done through designing an energy-efficient home, buying energy-efficient appliances, and adopting energy-saving habits. These acts go a long way in helping Singapore in its energy conservation efforts.

Households can also reduce their energy consumption by practising simple energy-saving habits. By doing so, households can save money and help fight climate change at the same time.

Mandatory Energy Labelling (MELS) and Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) help improve the energy efficiency of a range of household appliances. By buying more efficient models with better energy efficiency ratings, households can consume less energy, save money on their electricity bills and help to reduce carbon emissions.

Launched on 28 November 2020, the Climate Friendly Households Programme (CFHP) is a joint initiative by NEA and PUB which aims to encourage households to take climate action to be more efficient in their energy and water consumption, while saving on utility bills in the long run. 

The Climate Friendly Households Programme was enhanced on 15 April 2024, allowing HDB households to claim $300 in Climate Vouchers for 10 types of energy- and water-efficient household products.

From 15 Apr 2025, Singaporean and Permanent Resident HDB households are eligible to claim an additional $100 in Climate Vouchers, on top of the existing $300. The programme was also expanded to include Singapore Citizen households living in private residential properties. From 15 Apr 2026, households can utilise their Climate Vouchers to offset the purchase of two additional energy-efficient appliances i.e., 5-tick clothes dryers and induction stoves, bringing the eligible list to 12 types of households products.

The Climate Vouchers are valid until 31 December 2027.
