Improve the way your home consumes electricity today with an energy saving audit.
Are you interested in learning where and how to make changes to your home so that you use less energy? Whether you want to lower your energy bills or do your bit for the environment, an energy saving audit could be just the solution you’ve been looking for.
Energy saving for home owners in Melbourne
With our energy saving audit, Melbourne residents and property owners can reduce the cost of monthly bills, while also helping to save the planet! Being environmentally responsible feels great, and it is good for your wallet, too. An audit can help to cut those utility costs, but it can also improve the value of your home. When the time comes to sell, you could get a far better price, and a faster sale, with an energy efficient property to offer.
Local audits in Melbourne
Trust Smillie Electrical to conduct a thorough and detailed environmental audit of your residential property. We are experienced and highly skilled auditors and we can show you how to improve energy efficiency with our eco-scorecard system. We inspect the property to assess its sustainability and environmental impact.
As a part of your audit, we will conduct a detailed inspection of your home and prepare a report that outlines areas where changes can be made. Our team can also carry out these changes for you, making us your one stop shop!
What do we look at?
Some of the things we will inspect as a part of your audit include:
- Internal lighting (are you using or incandescent or LEDs?)
- Security lighting (could a sensor be more efficient than a floodlight?)
- Wiring (has it been properly insulated?)
- Switchboards (does it need to be updated?)
- Faults (are unattended faults causing higher energy consumption?)
How to get more efficiency from your property after your audit
As skilled electrical contractors, Smillie Electrical can deal with any faults and problems we discover during the audit process. Often, fixing faults and improving wiring efficiency can make a significant improvement to the overall energy rating. We can also improve home insulation, which can dramatically lower heat loss and prevent electrical systems from working overtime.
Our audit report is filled with recommendations, which you should consider implementing in order to improve your energy rating. Many of these suggested measures are things our electricians can help you with. We provide competitive quotes for audit customers, covering all aspects of electrical work – from wiring and lighting to fuse boards and power points.
Audits for private homes and development properties
Our audits can lead to a better rating on your home’s NatHERS (National House Energy Rating Scheme) certificate. This could be very important indeed if you hope to sell, remortgage, or release equity from your home. An energy efficient home can command a higher market price. Energy efficiency audits are necessary when designing new homes, renovating existing properties, converting rooms or adding extensions. As well as working with homeowners and landlords, we can also support architects, developers and builders.
