By now, landlords, property managers<br />
and most tenants will be aware of the<br />
changes to the Residential Tenancy Act<br />
concerning home insulation, requiring all<br />
rental properties to have adequate ceiling<br />
and under floor insulation installed, where<br />
practicable, by 30 June <strong>2019</strong>.<br />
However, many landlords and property<br />
managers may not be aware they could be<br />
liable for a $4,000 fine (per non-compliant<br />
property), payable to the tenants, if their<br />
investment properties do not meet the<br />
standard in time. With an estimated <strong>12</strong>5,000<br />
rental properties still requiring better<br />
insulation, these owners and property<br />
managers are being urged to take action now<br />
to avoid the impending rush.<br />
Local long-established insulation specialists<br />
EnergySmart are a selected service<br />
provider for the government’s EECA (Energy<br />
Efficiency and Conservation Authority)<br />
insulation programme, and currently offer<br />
both landlords and homeowners great<br />
savings to better insulate their properties.<br />
The company offers free property<br />
assessments with an insulation Compliance<br />
Certificate for the property if the existing<br />
insulation already complies. If insulation<br />
is required, they provide a Compliance<br />
Report and quote to complete the work.<br />
Extended home energy assessments are<br />
also available, covering heat pumps and LED<br />
lights if required.<br />
EnergySmart are one of the largest<br />
manufacturers and installers of insulation<br />
products in New Zealand and supply a<br />
range of home solutions including their<br />
own insulation brands Terra Lana wool and<br />
PolyKing polyester, as well as supplying Pink<br />
Batts fibreglass insulation. All carry a 50<br />
year warranty.<br />
Their installers are fully trained, clean<br />
and tidy, and their work is audited both<br />
internally as well as by the government, so<br />
you are assured of the highest standard of<br />
workmanship.<br />
EnergySmart has easy payment options<br />
including no deposit and 36 months<br />
interest free, meaning you can insulate your<br />
property from only $<strong>12</strong> per week. Landlords<br />
can insulate now, take advantage of current<br />
discounts, and beat the rush.<br />
While insulation in rental properties is now<br />
a legal requirement for landlords, they will<br />
also have the satisfaction of knowing their<br />
tenants are living in a warmer healthier, more<br />
energy-efficient home, and consequently<br />
are more likely to stay.<br />

assessment and insulation options,<br />
