Renters
We recognise that as a renter, you may not have a choice to transition your heating, cooling, cooking or hot water appliances. There are still actions you can take to reduce your energy costs and fossil fuel gas use.
Free expert advice and support
The free Renters’ Home Energy Program is an easy way to help you make informed energy choices. Get expert advice, in person or on the phone. Learn the best actions you can take to make your rental home more comfortable and reduce your energy use and costs.

If you’re on a lower income you may be eligible for the Home Energy Efficiency Program. Energy efficiency assessors can visit your home to help you find ways to:
- reduce your energy and water use
- save money
- improve the comfort of your home
