Under the Victorian Energy Upgrades Program
Free Weather Sealing for Homes & Businesses
Many homes in Victoria lose heated or cooled air through small gaps around doors, vents, and other openings. Weather sealing helps reduce this energy loss, keeping indoor temperatures more stable and improving overall comfort while lowering energy usage.
Available Upgrade Options
Sealing around doors
Sealing ceiling exhaust fans
Sealing wall vents
Chimney sealing
Evaporative cooler vent sealing
Exhaust Fan Seals for Victorian Homes
Homes across Victoria may qualify for free exhaust fan sealing under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. Even small gaps around exhaust fans can allow warm or cool air to escape, making your heating or cooling system work harder.
Installing exhaust fan seals helps improve energy efficiency by preventing unwanted air leakage when the fan is not in use. This keeps indoor temperatures more stable and helps reduce energy waste.
The seal automatically opens when the fan is operating and closes when it is off, helping maintain comfort inside your home. All installations are carried out by a qualified and certified electrician to ensure safety and reliability.
