Rental energy efficiency readiness

Help for landlords and property managers getting rentals ready for Victoria’s new minimum energy efficiency standards — before the next lease.

What we check

A clear checklist for each property

The rental standards are features-based — insulation, efficient heating, cooling and hot water, showerheads and draught sealing — not a NatHERS certificate requirement. We check each property against them and tell you what needs doing.

  • Walkthrough against the standards, with photos
  • Pass / action needed for each item
  • Optional blower door test and thermal imaging to find draughts
  • Optional existing home NatHERS rating

Timing: new standards start applying from 1 March 2027, with draught sealing from 1 July 2027. Always confirm current rules at consumer.vic.gov.au.

FAQ

Common questions

Does my rental need a NatHERS rating?

No. The standards are features-based. An existing home rating is optional but can help plan upgrades.

Can you check several properties?

Yes. We can check a portfolio and rank which properties need work first.
