Services
Tasman Home Energy Advisory provides independent energy assessments for homes, Airbnb properties and small businesses across Hobart and southern Tasmania.
Our assessments are designed to identify practical opportunities to improve comfort, reduce running costs and help you make informed decisions about upgrades such as heating, hot water, insulation, lighting, controls and solar.
Each service provides a structured review of energy performance, along with prioritised recommendations and practical next steps.

Client Testimonials
— Janet (5/5 stars)
We highly recommend Jarred. We have a property in Hobart that is used as an AirBnB and were looking for ideas to reduce the electricity bill.
Jarred inspected our property, discussed our needs, gave us some verbal ideas and followed his visit up with an excellent written report. The report described measures we could take to improve energy efficiency, split by initial cost and prioritised by cost-effectiveness.
We found Jarred very easy to work with, very customer focused, had good communication skills and a good knowledge of the issues involved.
