Stop letting the air out with weather sealing upgrades
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program provides rebates for various energy-saving measures, including weather sealing. Weather sealing, also known as draught proofing, involves sealing gaps and cracks around doors, windows, and other parts of a building to prevent air leaks. This can significantly improve the energy efficiency of a home by reducing the need for heating and cooling.
We install following products for FREE under the VEU rebate program:
Door Seals: Installing seals around external doors to prevent draughts
Chimney Seals: Using chimney seals or dampers to prevent air from leaking through the chimney when it is not in use
Exhaust Fan Seals: Installing seals or covers on exhaust fans that automatically close when the fan is not in use to prevent air leakage
Cooling Vent Covers: Sealing evaporative cooling vent covers to prevent air from escaping through cooling vents.
These weather seals help to create a more airtight indoor envelope, which enhances thermal comfort and reduces energy consumption. The VEU program offers rebates and incentives for these upgrades, making it more affordable for homeowners to improve their energy efficiency.
To access these rebates, eligible participants must use accredited providers who can assess the property, recommend appropriate weather sealing products, and get them installed for free by a certified installer to ensure installation is compliant with the rebate program’s standards.
