Insulation Assessments

Residential Reports’ affiliate group Arcsite manages insulation assessments. The ACT Government has introduced a new regulation for rental properties with no ceiling insulation or existing insulation rated less than R2. From April 2023 landlords will be required to have ceiling insulation installed or upgraded to R5 and rental providers will be required to include details as to whether the property is compliant with the minimum standard in all advertisements and new residential tenancy agreements. The regulation commences April 2023 and will have a phase-in period to November 2026. During the phase-in period, rental providers will be required to meet the standard within 9 months of a new lease being signed for the property.

The Arcsite Insulation Assessment service is designed to offer Property Managers and Landlords a cost effective and comprehensive appraisal and advice regarding upgrades in the event your property is assessed as non compliant. Where a property meets the minimum standards you will be issued with a certificate which can be used to promote compliance in rental ads and agreements.
