make their homes more comfortable
improve health outcomes for those with temperature-sensitive conditions.

Preparing your home for winter
There are many ways to stay toasty and warm this winter. Here are some of our favourites:
1️⃣ Draughts love to sneak around windows and door frames. Use a door snake and draught excluder tape to make a big difference for a small dollar figure.
2️⃣ Close off rooms that aren't being used, so you aren't heating an empty space.
3️⃣ Of course, make your house cosy and cheap to run with a Scorecard assessment!
Our accredited assessors are energy efficiency experts and will give you tailored advice on how to make your home warm and cosy for less. Your upgrades will help you save on bills without sacrificing warmth, this winter and beyond.
