Many bathrooms have extractor fans already, and the good news is that existing fans are “grandfathered” in. We will take photos of fans to show they have been there prior to 2019. If you do have to put in a new fan be aware that the standard is a 12cm vent or over 25ls extraction power.
We have found that HP installation is the most expensive part of meeting the HHL requirements,but also the easiest.
The biggest issue in complying with the HHL is heating. This is the most expensive part of the new regulations and requires a complex assessment using a calculator on the Tenancy Services website
If your house has a “sub-floor space” (which means you can get under the house) you need to put polythene over the ground. It gets pinned down, and taped up to piles, and the edge of the house. The standard cost is $8m2+GST, and it's not particularly difficult so you can do this yourself if you wish.
Insulation Top-ups: Essentially the Govt has moved us from the 2000 standard to 2008 standard. If you installed new insulation to meet the 2016 insulation requirements you are going to be ok. If you have a 2000 to 2008 home or prior to 2016 had retrofitted insulation you may well need to top-up.
