Energy Efficiency Solutions to Boost the value of your home
HomeStar Upgrades delivers fast, affordable energy efficiency improvements — with a return on investment you’ll see when it counts most – at sale time.
The Shift is Happening Right Now
Energy efficiency is no longer a nice-to-have. State and Federal governments are actively pushing households to reduce energy consumption — to ease cost-of-living pressures and drive down emissions. The result: buyers are paying attention to energy ratings like never before.
In the ACT, where an energy scorecard is already mandatory at point of sale, the evidence is clear — higher-rated homes attract stronger interest and better prices. Victoria is heading the same way.
Some lenders now require a minimum star rating for green loan eligibility — meaning a low-rated home can limit a buyer’s financing options before they’ve even made an offer. Recent studies confirm that energy-efficient homes command a meaningful price premium and spend less time on the market.
Today’s buyers are asking questions they didn’t ask five years ago:
- What are the running costs?
- Does it qualify for a green home loan?
- What’s the NatHERS or Scorecard rating?

What HomeStar Does
We assess your home’s current energy performance and identify the upgrades that deliver the most impact — typically insulation, draught sealing, and where applicable, solar. We manage the process from assessment through to installation, so you’re not juggling trades or paperwork.
The result: a better star rating, a more comfortable home, and a stronger position when you go to market.
