If your home is too cold in winter or too hot in summer or energy bills are high, there may be cost-effective ways to upgrade or retrofit your home to make it more comfortable and cheaper to run. However, it can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to prioritising home upgrades: you may be unaware of where heat is being lost or gained and may be unsure of the effectiveness of various measures that can be taken to improve energy efficiency and comfort in your home. An energy efficiency audit will help you determine what’s making your home inefficient, and what you can do about it.
Australia is in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, and households are facing rapidly increasing gas and electricity bills – an acute issue in our Victorian winter. If your energy bills are rising an energy audit will tell you which appliances may be contributing to that and what cost-effective measures could be taken to reduce your bills. With a well-sealed, well-insulated home with energy efficient appliances, you could save thousands of dollars each year.
Reducing your energy usage will also contribute to the ambitious targets of the Borough of Queenscliffe to support our community towards a more sustainable future.
