  Insulation

Insulation has a huge impact on the comfort in your home: in winter it helps keep your home warm, in summer it helps keep your home cool. Different products abound here, as well.

The measurement of efficiency is rated in ‘R’s – the higher the better. There are minimum levels but paying a small amount here to increase the R rating can make a dramatic difference to your comfort levels in the long run.
  • Have you got the correct R (heat retention) levels or better?
  • Has it been correctly installed – as per manufacturers’ specifications?
  • Do you have environmental considerations that may play a role in your choice of insulation used?
