We all want our homes to be comfortable, cheap to run and healthy to live in
Unfortunately most existing houses in Australia were not built with all of this in mind. Don’t worry - they can be upgraded to give you long term financial security and comfort all year round!
Here at Adelaide Home Energy Assessors, Alex and Dan are passionate about helping you realise this, by visiting and assessing your home, and providing and a plan to move forward.

Our signature, holistic service is designed to find out exactly where, and when, your home is using energy, why certain rooms feel like an icebox or an oven, and how to stop spending too much money on your bills.
What’s Included:
A ~2-Hour comprehensive onsite assessment: We inspect your home from roof to floor, assessing your insulation, draughts, window orientation, and appliances.
An energy bill review: We look beyond just electrical appliances to consider gas, firewood, solar and battery potential, and your actual utility bills to see where your money is going.
A custom home upgrade report and plan: A clear, prioritised roadmap showing you exactly which modifications will give you a return on investment for bill savings and benefit for long-term comfort.
Price: From $530
Note: Fees are payable when booking or on the day prior to the assessment. Larger homes or properties more than 50km from our workplace in Adelaide may incur a $50 flat travel fee.

Sneaky draughts are one of the main reasons your house heats up in summer and is cold in winter - even with a heater on!
We offer draught sealing and weather proofing services focussing on the following:
Draughts around the door perimeter (from $230 per door)
Some draughts around windows ($ depending on size of window, and product used)
Sealing up wall vents (from $40 per vent)

Get in touch today with some pictures of your house and we can discuss how we can help you. We may also refer you to some specialist professionals as needed.

Home Electrification and Getting Off Gas is one of the biggest things households can do to put both downward pressure on the cost of living and assisting with decarbonising their communities to mitigate climate change.
We can help by demystifying the jargon, answering your questions and getting a plan together.
If you are focused on the carbon impact of your home and other energy activities (like transport) then we can support you to develop a plan to live lighter on our planet. From sourcing your energy to understanding the gasses used in your heat pump - lets have a chat, or create an action plan.

Wondering where all the heat is coming in, or leaving from?
We can assist by highlighting areas of air leakage and missing insulation to allow you to target your improvements for a better outcome. We usually do this during an onsite inspection.

If you have an event coming up - we’d love to hear from you…
