2007 has seen unpredictable weather conditions and households are increasing energy consumption, taking a toll on their wallets and the environment. With temperatures already soaring, homeowners should start thinking of the smart option of keeping cool and insulation and ventilation is the key.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, Australia has experienced warmer than normal conditions throughout 2007 – and in an uninsulated home, this summer could be very uncomfortable. CSR Bradford insulation can keep your home up to 7 degrees cooler in summer, making it easier and cheaper to maintain a regular and comfortable temperature. Insulation stops up to 70% of heat transfers in the home, preventing inside temperatures from soaring.
By keeping the home cooler, air conditioning systems will not need to work as hard and households will reduce energy consumption. With heating and cooling systems accounting for almost 40% of energy use in the average home, insulation is the smart choice for saving energy and reducing your bills. Insulation can pay for itself in just 3 or 4 years.
As well as keeping energy bills low, insulation is great for the environment. Energy used in homes is one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions but insulation helps reduce the amount emitted into the atmosphere. By reducing energy for heating and cooling, households will also help conserve our precious energy resources.
If your home is already insulated, adding a ventilation system is an inexpensive way to further increase energy savings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Edmonds roof ventilators allow roof space heat that can build up over time to escape the structure. With less heat to block, Bradford insulation can work far more effectively.
Bradford Gold and SoundScreen products are the only insulation products to be accepted in the National Asthma Council Australia’s Sensitive Choice Program , making their products the choice for allergy sufferers, due to its low allergen content and ability to moderate temperature changes. All of Bradford’s insulation products are also fire resistant.
CSR Bradford insulation meets the highest Australian insulation standards.
