Heat escapes through the roof and walls of any building, and out of any gaps, tears or areas missing insulation. Heat loss increases dramatically when the temperature outside is lower than inside, as heat is drawn to cold areas. Good insulation makes homes more energy-efficient, comfortable and healthy. It makes homes easier and cheaper to heat, and adds lasting value to properties.
-
Insulation degrades over time, especially insulation that is more than ten years old. Old insulation usually needs a fix-up, top-up or full replacement. Many homes in New Zealand are not insulated or not insulated properly, for reasons ranging from pre-insulation building construction, low building code standards, poor quality materials or misunderstandings of building science.
-
Insulation can be complicated. There are different materials, features and benefits on the market, and no one-size-fits-all We recommend that ceiling and underfloor insulation be installed professionally.
Visit the Energywise website and MBIE website for more insulation benefits and current building code requirements.

We’re part of a the Community Energy Network (CEN) a group of organisations dedicated to delivering effective energy-efficient solutions for warmer homes, job creation and healthier communities.

“We like the values of the Sustainability Trust, the price was really reasonable, and the feedback we had read from other customers was great. The installers made short work of what turned out to be a pretty tricky job with our ceiling and underfloor insulation. We can’t recommend you highly enough!”
