Christian Gibson The use of electricity or gas for heating and cooling in an average home, accounts for 50 to 70% of its energy use. Did you know that inadequate insulation and air leakage are leading causes of energy waste in most homes?
Insulation saves you money, makes your house more comfortable by helping to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the house, and makes walls, ceilings, and floors warmer in winter and cooler in summer. In Glenroy freezing westerly winds sweep across the suburb throughout winter causing very cold temperatures, conversely in summer temperatures can reach 40degrees!
The amount of energy you conserve will depend on several factors: your local climate; the size, shape, and construction of your house; the living habits of your family; the type and efficiency of the heating and cooling systems; and the fuel you use. Once the energy savings have paid for the installation cost, energy conserved is money saved – and saving energy will be even more important as utility rates go up.
