Landlords

Tenants and property buyers are becoming more savvy about energy efficiency. An energy efficient home is cheaper to run, more comfortable and healthier to live in. As a landlord, you can add value to your investment by considering energy efficiency when you purchase appliances or make any upgrades to the property.

There are now minimum standards for rental properties in Victoria. These include standards for energy efficient heating appliances, shower heads and window coverings.
​
If your rental investment property needs updating to meet the Victorian minimum requirements, or you are keen to ensure that your tenants are comfortable - now is a great time for a home energy assessment. A Residential Efficiency Scorecard will pinpoint the most cost-effective upgrades for your investment, and can also be used later for promotion of your property if you sell it.

If you simply need some pointers as to the best heating, cooling or hot water system to purchase, a Phone Consultation advice session will assist you.
