Failoa Energy Education Workshop 18.0 with the New Jerusalem Ministry Worship Centre Samoan Church, Otara on Sunday 30 August 2026.

Talanoa:-

✅We just picked up keys for a new home can you do a home performance assessment? No. The landlord should provide a signed Healthy Homes Compliance Statement with the tenancy agreement.

✅How can we get rid of the mould? Wear protection gear and remove safely. Our home performance assessor can recommend tips on keeping the mould away.

✅Will a cold and damp home affect my health if I have a pre-existing heart problem? Yes, cold and damp homes force blood vessels to narrow which can raise blood pressure and make your heart work much harder and could risk clots.
