What is a Home Energy Audit?
A Home Energy Audit is a detailed assessment of your property’s energy use.
It identifies areas where energy is wasted, such as poor insulation or inefficient appliances, and provides actionable recommendations to improve efficiency, reduce bills, and enhance comfort.
How can a Scorecard improve comfort?
Scorecard assessment helps identify hidden inefficiencies—like draughts, poor insulation, or outdated appliances—that affect your home's temperature control.
By pinpointing areas for improvement, it guides tailored upgrades such as better sealing, smarter heating and cooling, and hot water. These changes don’t just save energy—they create a more stable, comfortable indoor environment year-round.
Whether you’re renting or own your home, it’s a simple way to boost livability with expert insights.
What is a VEEC-eligible upgrade?
VEEC stands for Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates. There are many VEEC-eligible upgrades, including heat pumps, draft-proofing and insulation improvements that qualify for government rebates, making energy-saving solutions more affordable for homeowners and renters.
Can renters benefit from energy audits?
Absolutely! Renters can use audit insights to make low-cost, renter-friendly changes like draught-proofing or switching to energy-efficient lighting. Plus, audits can help you advocate for landlord-supported upgrades to improve your living space.
How do Scorecard assessments work?
Scorecard assessments evaluate your home’s energy performance and comfort level, assigning a star rating of 1 to 10 similar to those seen on home appliances like air conditioner and fridges.
The report includes tailored recommendations to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and create a more sustainable, comfortable home.
