| 1109851 | 2010-06-15 03:10:00 | Bloody lucky here it does not get cold enough to worry about. My house has zero insulation in roof walls or floor buts its warm with the fire going. I have put in hot air system which sucks up the heat above the fire and sends it to the bedrooms. The floors are particle board so no cold air gets through it. Works both ways! Helps keep the house cooler in the summer. Then again my electricity bill for this month was only $85 for 240 units :clap We have one of those hot air systems to redistribute heat from over the fire. Have not used it much since the insulation was improved. The heat just flows out from room to room as it no longer has anywhere to escape. |

| 1109852 | 2010-06-15 04:53:00 | Ours was done by HEET (yea note the name) Local Council sponsored before these grants came in and did not cost us a cent. Although that said I lost two days work because of waiting around for them to turn up. Then when they did I had to chase them up to come back to do the underfloor. The materials sat in my garage for nearly three weeks. 11 months on I had to get into the roof space and noticed they had missed an area of 5 sqmtrs in one of the several corners of the house an area you could not see from the hatch inspection of the work. So we rung them up! Month later someone came out and inspected and said yes they needed to come pit and do that area and some other parts not done! That was 3 months ago and the line is.....we will get to you when we have someone available in the area. I think if I had had to have paid something towards this I would have gone ballistic by now but then again it was done through the rates package so maybe I still need to go nuts at them. One thing I did notice on this HEET insulation is that some people got the windows, pipe lagging and a moisture mat installed! We just had Loft. underfloor and two badly fitted door strips installed. Have we noticed the differance though? Not sure to be honest. Yeah , if it is not done properly, it is almost as bad as not having it done at all, as you will lose heat through those gaps. I would have complained to the council about that poor service, becuase they are the ones that pay their contractors. |
