This webtool has been designed for renters but it also provides useful information for other households.
This is an opportunity to:
- identify the quickest and most cost-effective ways to reduce your energy use and bills;
- improve the comfort of your home;
- receive a tailored report on how to reduce your energy costs in your home.
The electricity and gas we use in our homes contribute to climate change and affect the environment in many ways. Reducing our energy use by making our homes more energy efficient reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps to protect the environment.
The assessment should take around half an hour to complete. At any stage you can save your progress and continue later. At the end of the assessment you will be able to download your report instantly.
It is best to have your recent energy bills handy, ideally covering at least one winter and one summer.
This webtool is best viewed on a computer or tablet.
If you own a home in the ACT and you are considering whether to install solar panels, you may also like try our free solar calculator.
