Landlords and Property Managers

Tenants are no longer simply looking for a well-presented property. Many are now more focused on finding a property that is well-insulated and heated because of the flow-on effects in terms of heating bills and health costs. According to some property managers, poorly or non-insulated homes are remaining empty longer than efficiently insulated homes.

Tenants in energy efficient homes are healthier and have reduced power bills. This means they are more content to stay in the rented property for longer.

Efficient Insulation and clean heating add value to the rental property, increasing its market value. As well, costs related to mould, dampness and mildew will be reduced or eliminated completely.

How can Natural Insulation help?

Natural Insulation can help landlords and property managers maximize energy use in their properties by addressing insulation and clean heating issues.

Natural Insulation is registered to offer the ENERGYWISE subsidy to customers, including landlords. In brief, this means that the government will provide up to a third of the cost of insulating homes built before 2000 up to a maximum of $1300.00 dollars for ceiling and underfloor insulation. Once the necessary insulation has been installed, the government will contribute a further $500.00 toward clean heating.

Here’s what Clayton Cosgrove, former Minister for Building and Construction has to say: The government is keen to support responsible landlords to improve the quality of our housing stock…Not only is this the right thing to do economically as you will add amenity value to your home, but providing a warmer, dryer healthier home is the right thing to do for your tenants.
