The Assessments we do

1. Healthy Homes Assessments

2. HomeFit Assessments

The Healthy Homes Standards ensures that homes are “fit for living” by focusing on 5 areas (Heating, Insulation, Ventilation, Moisture & Draught Stopping).

The HomeFit is an inspection-based assessment of the health, comfort, energy efficiency and safety of New Zealand homes.  

The Healthy Homes standards (HHS) were established in New Zealand as part of the Residential Tenancies Act. These standards aim to enhance the quality of rental properties by addressing issues related to cold, dampness, drainage, and draughts. The healthy homes standards are minimum standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping in rental properties. Here are the key details: 

1.Heating Standard:

Rental homes must meet specific heating requirements to ensure warmth during colder months.

2.Insulation Standard:

Proper insulation is essential to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption.

3.Ventilation Standard:

Adequate ventilation helps prevent dampness and promotes air circulation.

4.Moisture Ingress & Drainage Standard:

Properties should effectively manage moisture to prevent dampness and related health issues.

5.Draught Stopping Standard:

Measures to seal gaps and prevent draughts contribute to a more comfortable living environment.
