Winter can be a pleasant change after Australia’s harsh summer, but it can quickly turn miserable if your home is uninsulated. It’s never too late to install insulation and keep your home comfortable and protected from the colder months.
Installing insulation is not only affordable but is an investment that will save you money and pay for itself over time. Residents in NSW, VIC and regional WA also have the added bonus of a state government rebate of up to $300 off the cost of your insulation.
Installing insulation such as Bradford Gold Batts into your ceiling will allow your home to be 10C degrees warmer and will stop up to 70 percent of heat transfers. If you are using reverse cycle air conditioning or heating in an insulated home you will not have to keep it on as high or as long. And once you switch it off, your home will remain warmer for longer – helping you save money off your energy bills which will see you recouping the costs of your Gold Batts within three to four years.
While you’re saving money on energy bills, you will also be assisting the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through minimising your dependency on gas and electricity for cooling and heating purposes.
If you are about to start renovating or are in the middle of the work - there is no better time to install Bradford Insulation not only into the roof, but the walls and floors to ensure you keep heat transfers to an absolute minimum.
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.
