Home Health Check
It’s easy to make a difference. And it starts at home. Because this is where our lifestyle impacts the planet first. And where we have the power to make simple changes that will save money and shrink our environmental footprint.
HomeHealthCheck gives customers free, expert advice on how to make their homes a greener place to live. Plus access to an interest-free Green Loan to help get it done. So consumers can make the investments they’ve always wanted to. Things like solar electricity, rainwater harvesting, and smart insulation. To help us all breathe easier. Today and into the future.
These free sustainability assessments are funded by the Australian Government’s Green Loans Program, which also funds interest-free loans for related improvements.

Enviro Saver Solar
With Enviro Saver Solar, customers can switch to Solar Hot Water today, and, depending on where they live and some other factors, the change over price could be considerably less than they think. By combining government rebates and incentives currently on offer with Enviro Saver’s bulk buying power, a brand new 315 to 400 litre Solar Hot Water System (or a 250 litre Heat Pump Hot Water System) could be fully installed for a lot less than customers might expect.
At the moment, the rebates on offer and the conditions attached to them vary by region. So the net cost to the customer varies as well.
Depending on the circumstances, a new Solar Hot Water system might pay for itself from day one, or it might take a year or two and then the savings kick in. Either way, we think it’s a pretty easy decision.
Enviro Saver Insulation
Home Insulation provides safe, silent, cost effective protection against Australia’s climate extremes, and yet millions of householders are still enduring scorching summers and freezing winters without it. It’s simple to retrofit in most homes. And with the new federal government upfront rebate, right now it’s also super affordable.
At 38% of the average home’s energy use, heating and cooling costs are the biggest single contributor to home energy bills. By making the home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, insulation can help slash this cost by between 67% and 87%!
The consumer can even get a $1000 rebate upfront for their investment property. It’s a great way to add value, plus they’ll be helping tenants to save money and the environment. The energy saved will reduce carbon emissions by up to 2.2 tonnes a year per person. That’s a great saving for everyone.
