In-Home Scorecard Assessment.

An in-home energy assessment, also known as a Scorecard Assessment, is a report that shows how energy-efficient your home is. You get a star rating for your home’s energy efficiency, insight into the energy consumption of your appliances, and a rating on the comfort of your home in hot and cold temperatures. 

yes Make informed decisions to improve your rating
yes The assessor will make recommendations to support your goals
yes A great place to start if you want an all-electric home

Scorecard Assessments are offered under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) on behalf of all Australian state governments and are available nationwide, with financial incentives to reduce the cost of hiring a professional assessor.

Insulation.

The insulation envelope of ceilings, walls and floors keeps warmth in your home in winter, keeps the heat out in summer, and results in less energy waste and costs.

yes Proper insulation reduces heat transfer, requiring less heating & cooling
yes Create a consistent and comfortable indoor environment
yes Insulation also acts as a sound barrier, keeping outside noises outside

In South Australia, under the REPS program, financial incentives are available for new insulation and topping-up existing insulation. 

Most other states don’t have the same government-led rebates, but benefit of installing new and topping-up insulation has a long-term benefit in helping to keep your energy bills under control. Victoria have announced a new initiative for 2026.
