Rental Properties

At Panda Solutions, we provide a range of services to keep your rental properties in excellent condition while also ensuring compliance with Healthy Homes Standards.

Bathroom Extractors

In most houses, the bathroom is the room where ventilation is most required. Opening windows or doors is not always a viable option, so bathroom extractors are essential. They are also a key requirement of Healthy Homes Standards.

We can install extractor fans that are appropriately sized for the bathrooms in your rental properties. We use high-quality components and products, and we work to the highest standards of workmanship.

Kitchen Extractor Fan Services

One of the main objectives of the Healthy Homes Standards is to make homes not only warmer, but also drier. That means implementing solutions for parts of rental properties where there are large amounts of moisture in the air.

This includes kitchens. At Panda Solutions, we can install new kitchen extractors as well as replacing existing extractors that are not up to the job. You’ll find our prices are competitive and we deliver high workmanship standards.

Smoke Alarm Installation

Your rental properties need to have smoke alarms installed in appropriate locations. At Panda Solutions, we can inspect your properties to assess whether your smoke alarms comply with current legislation.

Where new smoke alarms are needed, we can complete the installation work. We install high-quality and reliable smoke alarms from leading manufacturers, with all work completed by registered electricians.

Insulation

An essential part of compliance with Healthy Homes Standards is properly insulating your rental properties. Insulation helps to keep homes warmer and drier, while also making them more energy efficient.

We can assess any insulation that is currently in your rental properties as well as identifying where new insulation needs to be installed and making recommendations. We can complete the installation work too.

Healthy Homes Assessment

Do you need confirmation that your rental properties comply with New Zealand’s Healthy Homes Standards? Do you want information on work that is required to bring your properties up to the required standard?

We can help at Panda Solutions with our Healthy Homes Assessment services. We have extensive experience providing this service to all types of landlords, from those with extensive portfolios to landlords with a single rental property.

FAQs

What rental property services does Panda Solutions offer?

We’re a one-stop shop for getting Auckland rentals warm, dry and Healthy Homes compliant. That includes insulation, heat pump, bathroom and kitchen extractor fans, smoke alarms, ground moisture barriers, gutters and downpipes, draught stopping and general property maintenance. We can handle a single job or bring a whole property up to standard.

How quickly can you make a property compliant?

It depends on what the property needs, which we’ll know after an assessment. Some homes only need a few items addressed, while others need more work across several standards. Once we’ve assessed it, we’ll give you a clear scope, quote and timeframe. In most cases, we can get the house up to the healthy homes standard within two weeks.

What type of smoke alarm is required in a rental?

New smoke alarms in rentals must be photoelectric and either hardwired or fitted with a long-life (at least 8 years) sealed battery. The older replaceable-battery and ionisation alarms don’t meet the requirement. We install compliant photoelectric alarms so you don’t have to worry about getting the specification right.

Is insulation compulsory in rental properties?

Yes. Ceiling and underfloor insulation has been compulsory in rental homes since 1 July 2019, wherever it’s reasonably practicable to install. Since 1 July 2025 all private rentals must meet the full Healthy Homes Standards from the start of the tenancy. This means insulation is one of the key requirements that landlords need to have in place before renting out their property.

What insulation standard do rentals need to meet?

Rentals must meet the Healthy Homes insulation standard. In practice this means ceiling and underfloor insulation that reaches a minimum R-value, or thickness and in reasonable condition. We’ll check what’s there and tell you whether it passes or needs topping up.
