Save Money. Save the environment.

Customer Testimonials

 “My last water bill was right down, and I am well in advance on my gas and electricity payments. I could trust the Task Force coming into my home, and it was free so I didn’t have to worry about the cost” Gwen, Frankston


“Since my home has been retrofitted it is brighter and warmer. The draught stoppers work really well” Merv, Warrnambool


The home assessment involves a checklist of questions asked of householders in relation to their energy and water usage in order to determine which products may be suitable for installation.


The retrofit service involved the installation of some/all of the following products:

  • Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFL’s)
  • Low flow shower roses
  • Installing ‘Draft Stoppas’ over kitchen and bathroom exhaust vents
  • Pelmets OR Holland Blinds in living areas
  • Draught proofing of doors by installation of door strips and foam sealing
  • Lagging for external hot water pipes
  • Replacing tap washers for leaky taps


In delivering this project, Brotherhood Green are being supported by the promotion of this program by the City of Maribyrnong, City of Wyndham, City of Brimbank, New Hope Foundation, Australian Vietnamese Women’s Association and the Footscray & Wyndham Community Legal Centres.
