TESTIMONIALS

“Aspire Sustainability and Rebecca Boyle have made a big difference for our home. We were given simple tasks to make our home warmer. The steps have been incremental and affordable; and have made our home warmer by at least 8 degrees during winter before heating.”

— Ross & Therese, Lenah Valley.

“As an architect focused on sustainable design, I have the pleasure of working with Rebecca, whose expertise in optimising the energetic performance of buildings has been invaluable. Her in-depth analysis of thermal insulation, renewable energy integration, and efficient heating and hot water systems consistently results in homes that not only reduce energy consumption but also significantly cut costs for clients.
By fine-tuning energy models and recommending cutting-edge, eco-friendly solutions, she helps transform our designs into truly sustainable living spaces. Their proactive, data-driven approach ensures that every project aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility while maximising savings for homeowners.”

“On moving back into my old weatherboard house in Upper South Hobart last year, I found it to be much colder than I had remembered it. I then commissioned Rebecca to do an energy audit and was delighted with the results. She’s extremely approachable, efficient and cost-effective. I would recommend her highly to anyone who is looking to passively warm up their house by identifying sources of drafts and blocking them up, and/or is looking for professional advice on solar panels and insulation options.”

— Anne, Upper South Hobart
