Understand Your Home’s Energy Efficiency with the Residential Efficiency Scorecard

The Residential Efficiency Scorecard is a government-endorsed home energy assessment that rates your home’s energy efficiency on a scale of 1 to 10. Conducted by accredited assessors, it identifies key areas for improvement - such as heating, cooling, insulation, and draught proofing - helping you lower energy bills, increase comfort, and reduce your environmental impact.

A deep dive into your home’s full energy-use profile

Whilst draught-proofing is often an excellent primary step in transforming how energy efficient your home is, the Residential Efficiency Scorecard program takes a deep dive into all the pieces of the puzzle. It will clearly demonstrate a pathway so that you can effectively:

  • Lower Your Energy Bills – Identifies cost-saving energy improvements.

  • Improve Home Comfort – Helps reduce draughts, heat loss, and extreme temperature changes.

  • Plan Efficient Upgrades – Provides a roadmap for prioritising home improvements.

  • Increase Property Value – A higher energy rating can make your home more appealing to buyers.
