Home Energy Assessments for Renters

Save Energy, Cut Bills and Stay Comfortable at Home

Renting doesn't mean you're powerless to improve your home's energy performance.

A Home Energy Assessment can help renters understand where energy is being used, why bills may be higher than expected, and what practical steps can make a real difference to comfort and costs.

Whether you're dealing with a cold winter home, high summer cooling bills, or simply want to live more sustainably, a home energy assessment provides personalised advice tailored to your situation.

Practical Advice for Renters

Many energy-saving actions don't require ownership of the property.

Your assessment may provide guidance on:

• Reducing standby power and appliance energy use
• Choosing efficient lighting and appliances
• Managing heating and cooling costs
• Using curtains, draught-proofing products and portable solutions effectively
• Understanding electricity plans and peak usage times
• Making the most of rooftop solar if it's available at your property
• Finding rebates, discounts and support programs that may be available

You'll receive advice that focuses on actions within your control, while also helping you understand longer-term improvements that could benefit both tenants and property owners.
