The five standards
The five Healthy Homes Standards
Most landlords deal with compliance the hard way – separate companies for the heat pump, the insulation, the extractor fans, with separate invoices, scheduling and paperwork, and no one taking responsibility when something is missed. We do all five in a single managed job: one quote, one team, and one set of documentation at the end. That is what keeps Auckland landlords protected when a Tenancy Tribunal inquiry lands on their desk.
Heating
A fixed heater capable of heating the main living room to 18C. It must be correctly sized using the Tenancy Services heating assessment tool – an undersized unit fails the standard regardless of brand or price. We assess, supply, install and document every heat pump to the correct specification.
Insulation
Ceiling insulation of at least 120mm depth and underfloor insulation meeting current R-values. Settled, damaged or substandard insulation – common in older Auckland rentals – must be topped up or replaced. We assess, supply and install to the current NZ Building Code.
Ventilation
Every habitable room needs an openable window. Kitchens and bathrooms need extractor fans venting directly outside – a fan ducted into a ceiling cavity does not comply. We install SmartVent and HRV systems with full compliance documentation for your tenancy files.
Moisture & drainage
Effective site drainage, no significant moisture ingress, and ground moisture barriers in enclosed subfloors. A lot of older North Shore and West Auckland properties have subfloor issues that only become obvious at inspection. We assess, install barriers, and advise on drainage improvements where needed.
Draught stopping
No unreasonable gaps in walls, ceilings, floors, windows or doors. Unused fireplaces must be blocked – this catches a lot of Ponsonby and Grey Lynn villa owners by surprise. We identify and seal every gap that compromises compliance, and record every fix.
How it works
All five standards. One quote. One team.
Why Auckland landlords choose us
All five in one managed job – not five companies to chase
Most landlords deal with compliance the hard way: separate companies for the heat pump, the insulation and the extractor fans, with separate invoices, scheduling and paperwork – and when something is missed, no one takes responsibility.
We do all five in a single managed job. Licensed tradespeople on every installation – every heat pump, insulation job and ventilation fit-out carried out by a licensed tradesperson, because when you are sitting in front of a Tenancy Tribunal, unlicensed work does not protect you. You get one quote, one team, and one set of documentation at the end.
For landlords & property managers
Portfolio compliance made simple
Managing four properties in Mt Eden, Epsom and Albany? We schedule compliance work across all of them, coordinate around vacancies, and reduce per-property costs by running installations back-to-back. You get installation records and product specs for each property individually – keep these with your tenancy documents, because if you ever face a Tenancy Tribunal inquiry, this paperwork is what protects you. Less disruption, lower cost per property.

FAQs
Healthy Homes FAQs for Auckland landlords
My property passed a Healthy Homes inspection in 2022 – does it still comply?
Not necessarily. Equipment ages, extractor fans lose extraction capacity over time, and insulation settles or gets damaged. We would recommend a compliance review whenever a tenancy changes, or at least every two to three years, so a standard that was met three years ago has not quietly slipped out of compliance.
How much does Healthy Homes compliance cost in Auckland?
It depends what is already installed. A property that only needs extractor fans and draught stopping might run $1,500 to $2,500. A property that needs a heat pump, full insulation top-up and ventilation work could be $4,000 to $6,000 or more. We assess your property and give you a fixed quote before any work starts – so you know the full number upfront. Most standard compliance jobs across one Auckland property run between $1,500 and $6,000 depending on what is already there.
What happens if my rental is not compliant and a tenancy starts?
From 1 July 2025, every private rental must comply with the Healthy Homes Standards from day one of any new or renewed tenancy. Tenancy Services says landlords who do not meet the standards may face financial penalties of up to $7,200. It is not worth the risk – we can scope all five standards in one visit and tell you exactly where your property stands.
Do I need a formal assessment before you can carry out work?
If you already have an assessment report, we quote directly from it. If not, we can advise on assessment providers before we begin – or in many cases we can scope the work ourselves and advise what is needed. Either way you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Can you handle compliance across multiple Auckland properties?
Yes. We schedule compliance work across multiple properties, batch installations to reduce costs, and provide documentation for each property individually. Landlords managing four or more properties typically save on per-property cost when we run the jobs together, and coordinate around vacancies to keep disruption down.
What documentation do I receive after the work is done?
Confirmation of work completed, installation records, and product specifications. Keep these with your tenancy documents for each property – they are what protects you if you ever face a Tenancy Tribunal inquiry.
How quickly can you carry out the work?
We respond to every enquiry within one working day. For standard compliance jobs – heat pump, insulation, extractor fans – we are typically on site within the week of quote approval.
Is a heat pump always the right solution for the heating standard?
For most Auckland rentals, yes. It must be correctly sized using the Tenancy Services heating assessment tool – an undersized unit does not meet the standard regardless of brand or cost. We size and install every unit to spec, so the heater clears the standard rather than scraping it.
