  • The reasons our houses aren’t as well insulated comes down to climate and cost.

    Climate, people don’t die from extreme temperatures here like they do in places like Europe and North America.

    Cost, we don’t have the demand for better thermal protection so anyone who wants to improve their home has to pay.

    I’m in the process of trying to improve my home atm. I’ve had the blow in insulation replaced with batts, I’m replacing the windows with double glazing and I am trying to seal all of the gaps and vents that let out the heat. It will cost me 10’s of thousands of dollars by the time I’m finished, but it will make our house comfortable without costing us a fortune when we are retired.
