Better Homes & Carbon

Better Homes & Carbon is an initiative of Green Energy Trading focused on transforming rental properties into happy, healthy, energy efficient homes, with no or very low upfront cost for landlords or tenants.

  • We are offering FREE energy audits for rental homes in Merri-bek.

    The energy audit is conducted by a qualified assessor using the National Residential Scorecard.

  • We’re facilitating very low cost and no cost to landlord and tenant upgrades that qualify under the Better Homes & Carbon initiative with a combination of direct funding from Green Energy Trading and incentives created by government energy efficiency, emissions reduction and renewable energy schemes.

No Cost Upgrades

Select homes that complete a Residential Scorecard will receive the recommended energy efficiency upgrades for FREE.

These FREE upgrades are funded with a combination of cash incentives claimed under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program, Solar Victoria grants and additional funding from the Association for Energy & Environmental Equity.

These upgrades will help renters reduce bills, and carbon footprint, in the face of cost of living and climate crises.
