Process FAQs

General Victorian homes are eligible from 1 October 2026. Before that date, only public and community housing could proceed.

Online maps and aerial images may be used for an initial estimate, but the final eligible area must accurately represent the ceiling space being upgraded. Eaves, porches, garages, voids, inaccessible sections and other excluded areas can make the verified area smaller than the roof outline.

Yes. An applicable licensed electrician must complete the required pre-installation electrical safety assessment before eligible insulation work begins. Any identified electrical hazards must be rectified before the installation can proceed.

No. The financial benefit is calculated for each eligible installation. Larger eligible ceiling areas and different climate or location factors may generate different certificate quantities, while certificate values can also change.

No. ReInsulate can provide an initial estimate, but final eligibility, ceiling area, installation scope, certificate quantity and financial benefit depend on inspection, required safety checks, supporting evidence and Accredited Provider approval.
