Maintaining a warm and comfortable home during the colder, less hospitable months of winter is a major preoccupation for most homeowners, particularly with respect to the costs involved, as over two-thirds of household expenditure on energy is spent on heating and cooling.

 

Much of this money spent on heating is wasted when one considers that approximately 60% of heat is lost through walls and the roof. This is a vast amount of energy that could be better used heating the home but much of this contributes to an unnecessary expense that has an even greater impact on the environment. The solution to this on-going crisis is to invest in insulation.

 

Insulation also helps increase the resale value of your home. So in the long run, it really does pay to insulate your home, whether your home is old or new. You can immediately benefit from improved comfort and from reduced household expenses in the long run.

 

While you are able to complete this work yourself, you do need to have a qualified installer assess the work and provide a certificate of compliance. G-Force We Install offer a service where they will assess your property and provide you with a certificate of compliance (if it meets the standard) for a fee. They do suggest, however, that you get a quote from them to do the whole job as they buy their insulation at wholesale rates which means that you can probably get them to supply and install the insulation for close to what it would cost you to do it yourself.

 

G-Force We Install also work with landlords to insulate their rental properties, and they provide a free, no obligation assessment of their current insulation.

Each assessment is customised to each individual property’s needs; be it a full insulation install, or simple top up or addition. All new tenancy agreements need to include a statement of the extent and safety of insulation in the property, and that any replacement or installation of insulation in a rental property meets the required standard. All rental properties must also have underfloor and ceiling insulation meeting the required standard where it can practically be installed, so to find out more, please go to http://www.weinstallinsulation.co.nz .
