Advice for property owners where insulation has been installed under the Federal Government’s Home Insulation Scheme.


Energy Safe Victoria, the state’s electricity safety regulator, advises property owners where insulation has been installed under the Federal Government’s discontinued home installation scheme to engage a registered electrical contractor to check that the installation isn't dangerous and has not been placed too close to electrical equipment such as downlights, heaters and fans. 

For further information call Energy Safe Victoria on (03)9203 9700.


In addition, any household with an immediate concern about their safety can call the Federal Government’s Safety Hotline on 13 17 92 and request an inspection.  Calls to this number concerning complaints between consumers and installers over poor quality work may be referred to Consumer Affairs Victoria.
