Insulation

Enjoy year-round comfort in your Canberra home. Our premium ceiling, wall, and floor insulation keeps you warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and lowers your energy bills.

Insulation Basics

Insulation is one of the first steps to think about when improving energy efficiency of your home. Its job is to slow down heat transfer and it does so by trapping the heat in the air pockets between the thin fibres of insulation. In Canberra, many homes have insufficient insulation to maintain healthy and comfortable living conditions during our cold winters and hot summers. Without adequate insulation, these homes become costly to heat and cool. In summer, insulation prevents heat from entering your home, while in winter, it minimises heat escaping, reducing your energy bills and maintaining a comfortable home.

Did you know?

Many ACT homes built before 1997 have little or no ceiling insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling demands—which can account for up to 38% of total household energy use. Over time, insulation can compress or become damaged, reducing its effectiveness. Fortunately, most insulation upgrades can be completed quickly, typically within just one to two days.
