An accredited EcoForm assessor visits your home, performs an assessment, and gives you practical options ranked by cost, effort and impact to make the home more comfortable and cheaper to run.
On-siteDetailed on-site assessment, where a 3D model of your house is created
ReportPrioritised recommendations with indicative costs and payback.
Follow-upOptional review after implementation to verify performance.
An accredited EcoForm assessor visits the home for a two-hour walk-through, looking at the fabric, services, appliances and how the home is used by its occupants.
You receive a certificate showing the home's star rating, where energy is being used, and a ranked set of practical options to improve it, from no-cost behavioural tweaks through to retrofit insulation and electrification.
A nationally-recognised in-home rating, the first of its kind, assessing your home's ability to keep a comfortable temperature year-round.
A breakdown of where the energy used in your house actually goes: building fabric, heating & cooling, water heating, lighting or major appliances.
Rates how the home performs in summer and winter, so you know which season is dragging the rating down.
Ranked, costed options to lift the rating: from no-cost behavioural tweaks through to retrofit insulation and glazing.
The certificate can be referenced when you sell or rent your house, as high-rated homes can attract a premium price and lower vacancy.
For owners targeting a net-zero household, the audit maps the steps to get there. You'll know whether to tackle PV, electrification, or fabric upgrades, and the right order to do so.
An accredited EcoForm assessor visits your home and conduct a thorough on-site assessment. We use a nationally-recognised tool, the first of its kind for existing homes, that scores your home against measured comfort and energy performance, then translates that into practical options to improve it.
A 2-hour walk-through with an accredited assessor. We look at the fabric, services, appliances, and how you actually use the home.
We assess the home's ability to keep a comfortable temperature in summer and winter, and where the energy is being used across major systems.
The home receives a certificate showing its star rating out of 10. This evaluates where energy is used, and the efficiency of the house's major elements.
Practical, ranked options to improve the home's energy efficiency, from no-cost behavioural tweaks through to retrofit insulation and electrification.
The certificate isn't a marketing document — it's a working tool. It tells you exactly where the home sits today, why, and where the easiest gains are.
The headline number — your home's overall performance against a nationally-recognised benchmark for comfort and energy use.
A breakdown across the building fabric, heating & cooling, hot water, lighting and major appliances — so you can see where the bill is actually going.
Rates the efficiency of the home's building fabric and major appliances individually — so you can target upgrades, not blanket them.
How the home performs in summer and winter separately — tells you which season is dragging the rating down and what to fix first.
Ranked, costed options to lift the rating — from behavioural changes through to retrofit and major upgrades.
For owners targeting net-zero, the certificate maps the order of operations — PV, electrification, fabric upgrades — in the right sequence.
If your home is too hot, too cold, or expensive to run, our assessors will discuss options for improving comfort and reducing bills. But the certificate keeps working long after we leave.
The In-Home Energy Audit can be referenced when you sell or rent the home. High-rated homes attract a premium and rent more easily. It also tells you exactly what to do, in what order, if you want to push the home further: lower emissions, lower bills, or all the way to net zero.
Practical options to address why your home is too hot in summer or too cold in winter, backed by measured data, not guesswork.
Targeted recommendations focused on the highest-payback improvements so you don't spend money fixing things that weren't the problem.
The rating can be referenced in listings, high-rating homes tend to attract a premium and lower vacancy compared to non-rated comparables.
High-rated homes are less demanding on the grid and more comfortable through heatwaves and cold snaps, a real benefit during outages.
Higher-rated homes generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions in day-to-day operation.
For owners aiming for net-zero, the audit becomes the roadmap — PV, electrification, fabric upgrades and behaviour, in the right order.
Our accredited assessors carry out in-home energy audits across WA.
Coastal and hills homes across Perth's metro suburbs face very different summer heat-gain and winter-draught issues, we tailor the walk-through to your suburb's conditions.
Mandurah, Pinjarra and the wider Peel region are serviced directly, with fast turnaround on bookings.
Regional areas are serviced by our team, with the ability to travel to your home and complete the assessment, no matter if you're located in Geraldton, Margaret River or Albany.
No. A NatHERS rating for a new home is based on building plans before construction. The In-Home Energy Audit rates a home that already exists, based on an on-site inspection of its actual fabric, services and appliances.
The on-site walk-through typically takes around two hours, depending on the size and complexity of the home. Your written report follows the visit.
If your home is within a participating Switch Your Thinking council area, you can quote the code SWITCHYOURTHINKING when you contact us to receive 10% off the RRP of your Home Energy Rating for an Existing Home. Check the Switch Your Thinking partner council area page to confirm your eligibility before booking.
Renovations need a separate NCC energy efficiency assessment, which our NatHERS team handles. Many owners get the In-Home Energy Audit first so the renovation actually targets the weak points we identify.
Yes. The certificate and star rating can be referenced in a sale or rental listing, and higher-rated homes tend to attract stronger buyer and tenant interest.
Homeowners use the audit when their home is uncomfortable, expensive to run, or about to be sold or rented. The rating, the certificate and the prioritised options are all in plain language — you don't need to be technical to act on them.
For builders, designers and developers, audits also serve as a measured baseline before adaptive re-use, retrofit or renovation work — grounding the strategy in real performance numbers rather than assumptions.
