Save on energy, boost home comfort with Scorecard

The Victorian Residential Efficiency Scorecard is a new Victorian Government program to help you figure out where your home is using the most energy, reduce that use, and keep yourself cosy in the process.

Scorecard looks at the fixed features of your home – the way it’s built and insulated, and features like your hot water and heating systems. It is delivered by government-accredited assessors, and will give your house a star rating (like the star rating on your fridge or air conditioner) as well as recommendations to improve that rating.

Getting a Scorecard assessment is a simple process. Visit the website – www.victorianenergysaver.vic.gov.au/scorecard – choose an assessor and get in touch for a quote and to book a time.

If you want to get tips on reducing energy use or learn more about Victorian Government programs to help you save energy and save money on bills, visit www.victorianenergysaver.vic.gov.au
