What Is a Healthy Homes Inspection?

A Healthy Homes inspection assesses whether a rental property meets New Zealand’s Healthy Homes Standards for Heating, Insulation, Ventilation, Moisture & Drainage, and Draught Stopping. Our inspections provide clear findings, photographs, recommendations and practical guidance to help landlords understand what needs attention.

Heating

A compliant heating system helps maintain a warm, healthy living environment during the colder months. We assess whether the installed heating meets the Healthy Homes Standards and is suitable for the size of the main living area.

Insulation

Effective ceiling and underfloor insulation helps retain heat, improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs. We inspect the insulation where accessible and identify areas that may require upgrading or improvement.

Ventilation

Good ventilation removes excess moisture and improves indoor air quality. We inspect extractor fans, natural ventilation and other key features to ensure moisture can be effectively managed throughout the home.

Moisture & Drainage

Managing moisture is essential for protecting both the property and the health of its occupants. We assess drainage, ground moisture protection and other factors that may contribute to damp conditions beneath or within the home.

Draught Stopping

Uncontrolled draughts allow warm air to escape and cold air to enter, making a home harder and more expensive to heat. We identify significant gaps, openings and other areas where draught stopping may be required to improve comfort and compliance.
