FAQs
What makes a home energy efficient and how much can I save on energy bills?
Homes are considered to be energy efficient when they feature multiple designs that assist the people inside to live comfortably without the use of large amounts of electricity and gas. The right features can assist with heating, cooling, lighting and cooking.
What is a passive house and how does it differ from standard energy efficient homes?
Passive houses help save energy on heating and cooling through their physical design, while energy-efficient houses have technology that allows them to utilise renewable energy sources. You can definitely combine both styles of home into one.
How much more does it cost to build an energy efficient home?
Whilst initial construction costs for eco building solutions typically range 5-10% higher than standard builds, the long-term savings are substantial. Our clients report energy bill reductions of 60-80%, with many achieving full return on investment within 5-7 years.
Do energy efficient homes qualify for government rebates or incentives in Victoria?
Yes, any home can be eligible for rebates and incentives as long as they meet the criteria, including energy-efficient homes. These are mostly available through the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, which can give you rebates for installing greener appliances and fixtures.
How do you ensure indoor air quality in energy efficient homes?
In order to have good air quality indoors, it’s important that homes are designed with quality ventilation in mind, and that appliances or networks that can affect air temperature (any HVAC systems) have air-purifying features.
Can you retrofit my existing home to be more energy efficient?
Yes, there are many ways to alter an existing home to make it more energy efficient. This can include adding insulation and glazed windows to help control indoor temperatures, changing systems from gas to electric, and adding options for solar panels and water tanks.
