Energy efficient home auditing or renovation planning

​Is your home too cold, too hot, or too expensive to run?We guarantee to lower your energy bills while significantly improving your home's comfort. By assessing your property’s current efficiency, we identify the specific changes needed to create a healthier, more cost-effective environment.
Our strategic renovation and retrofit plans help you:
  • Save thousands on energy costs.
  • Enhance year-round comfort in both extreme heat and cold.
  • Prioritise high-impact actions that fit your current budget for immediate savings.
  • Help prioritise upgrades to create a renovation plan.
Avoid the "Payback Trap" Many homeowners waste money on energy-saving measures that offer poor returns, making more effective solutions harder to justify later. Don’t learn the hard way—leverage our 40 years of experience to ensure you take the right steps in the right order.
Stop wasting money on inefficient fixes. Contact us today for an expert assessment and a clear path to a more efficient home.

Included in all Options

​ Our Proven 4-Step Process:
  • On-Site Assessment: We evaluate your building's condition and define your long-term goals.
  • Strategic Planning: We develop a custom roadmap tailored to your specific objectives.
  • Interactive Review: A collaborative video or phone session to refine the draft report and ensure total alignment.
  • Final Delivery: Professional presentation of your completed strategic report.

Enhanced NatHERS for Existing Homes or Scorecard Assessment

Expert Energy Assessments Choose between two industry-leading 10-star rating systems, both offered at the same price:
  • NatHERS for Existing Homes: Benchmarks your home against new-build standards by separating building performance from appliance consumption.
  • Residential Efficiency Scorecard: Good for measuring your home’s current energy usage, but not directly comparable to a new home rating.
​Every assessment includes a customized supplementary report featuring:
  • Targeted solutions for your specific concerns.
  • A prioritized action list for maximum ROI.
  • Recommended suppliers to help you get started immediately.

Success Story

'A big thank you to Clive from Low Energy Home. The Enhanced Residential Efficiency Scorecard Assessment was very informative and helped us understand the energy efficiency of our home. Clive provided a series of short term and long-term recommendations, all very well-tailored to our goals. The assessor report included detailed information on how to implement those recommendations, with links to potential vendors. We now feel confident about what to focus our attention on and how to implement it! We highly recommend Low Energy Home's services.' (Lorene and Jason, Adelaide)

Example savings from an audit

Thermal image of ceiling with missing insulation
Image showing energy impact of missing ceiling insulation

Missing insulation

Thermal Analysis: Exposing Hidden Leaks: Thermal imaging exposes hidden energy leaks. This yellow "hot spot" indicates a significant insulation gap where the ceiling should be a uniform purple.
. 
Thermal image of ceiling with insulation replaced

Insulation replaced

Going the Extra Mile: While accessing the ceiling, I located and replaced the missing insulation free of charge.
(Note: Minor yellow spots in the photo represent residual heat as the surface temperature normalizes.)
Thermal image of a ceiling fan with a missing insulation batt
Typical energy losses due to ceiling batt tossed aside at ceiling fan

More missing insulation

The Cost of Poor Installation:
Improper installation—such as insulation being tossed aside rather than trimmed—causes significant energy loss, as evidenced by the bright yellow thermal signatures.
Furthermore, this older fan no longer meets modern standards because it:
  • Lacks self-closing flaps, allowing conditioned air to escape.
  • Discharges directly into the ceiling, creating potential moisture issues.
The simple change of fixing the missing insulation will save the client $37.90 per year, as well as improving comfort. 
​This is in addition to the savings due to the recommended actions.
Installing a non-return flap on the fan will pay for itself in a year.
