Rental Compliance Offer

The ACT Government has recently introduced the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard for Ceiling Insulation in Rental Properties in the ACT

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

A regulation establishing a new minimum energy efficiency standard for ceiling insulation in rental homes will commence from 1 April 2023.

Rental properties with existing ceiling insulation below an R-value of R2, will need to upgrade the ceiling insulation to a minimum R-value of R5. The higher the R-value the better the thermal performance of the insulation. R5 is what is typically installed in new homes.

Please find the Government Checklist HERE for owners of rental properties in the ACT

If your property requires an assessment, an inspector may need to attend your home for an initial inspection of the current insulation levels and R value.

Canberra Building & Energy Ratings is offering an ‘online’ rate of $286 (inc GST) for all landlords

A CANBERRA BUILDING & ENERGY RATINGS (CBER) RENTAL COMPLIANCE INSULATION INSPECTION:

A CBER technician will attend the rental property to confirm the presence of ceiling insulation and assess the R-value.

Where a property is found to meet the minimum insulation standard, CBER will issue a certificate to verify compliance with the new government regulation.
If a property fails to meet the minimum standard, a report will be provided stating what the current insulation value equates to, and what is required to bring the property up to standard. This will include a quote from a local insulation company and any required electrical.
Where an exemption exists, and the property is not required to meet the standard CBER will issue a certificate to verify and detail the exemption.
