Meriton has confirmed a strategic partnership with The Appliance Guys to install best-in-class energy-efficient appliances within its new development in Sydney’s north-west.

This initiative for Cielo, a 215-unit block development in Epping, incorporates the use of 8-star dryers, 5-star refrigerators, and 4.5-star washing machines, which rank within the top 1% of the most efficient in the country.

The investment underscores Meriton’s commitment to sustainability and sets a new benchmark, as no other developer has demonstrated this level of focus on energy efficiency and environmental stewardship.

Meriton founder and managing director, Harry Triguboff said, “At Meriton, we are dedicated to creating projects that not only offer luxury and comfort, but also embrace a commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. We believe that integrating eco-friendly practices is crucial for enhancing the living experience and reducing costs for residents.”

Meriton Group head of construction, Charbel Rabie added, “The Appliance Guys commercial team has completed a number of projects for us now and their total turnkey placement and installation services just makes sense, not only operationally but also commercially. Partnering with The Appliance Guys commercial team allows us to provide our residents with top-tier, energy-efficient appliances, contributing to a greener future.”

The Appliance Guys commercial managing director, Behrouz Bolurieh commented, “We genuinely enjoy supporting Meriton’s market-leading vision to enhance living experiences for their residents. We’re excited and grateful to be a supply partner to the incredible Meriton organisation, which sets the benchmark in property development.

“Our collaboration with Meriton’s design, procurement and construction teams enables us to showcase our diverse product solutions and comprehensive service package, consistently meeting their timelines, budgets, and requirements.”

In addition to each apartment being equipped with energy-efficient appliances, the Cielo development will also feature EV chargers for all car spaces, promoting the use of electric vehicles, and secure bicycle parking. Generous insulation and operable glazing devices will be installed in all apartments to minimise the need for mechanical heating and cooling.
