Renovating Your Home? When to Book a Home Energy Assessment

After renovation plans change

Renovation plans often evolve. Extensions are added, layouts change, or budgets shift. If plans change significantly, revisiting energy performance can help ensure new decisions still make sense.

In some cases, an updated assessment may be appropriate to reflect changes to the home.

How a Home Energy Assessment supports renovation projects

A Home Energy Assessment doesn’t replace an architect or builder — it complements them. It focuses on how the home performs as a system, helping you understand the energy impact of renovation decisions.

This reduces the risk of missed opportunities and helps ensure renovations improve comfort, efficiency and long-term performance.

What happens next

After your Home Energy Assessment, you receive a clear report explaining how your home performs and which improvements may suit your renovation plans.

You can use this information to inform discussions with designers or contractors, adjust plans if needed, and move forward knowing energy efficiency has been considered properly — not added as an afterthought.

Booking the assessment at the right time helps ensure your renovation delivers lasting benefits, not just a visual upgrade.
