Home Insulation Upgrade

Is Your House a "Leaky Bucket"?

Close The Door! You're Letting All the Heat Out!

Despite what your parents might have told you, you don’t lose the majority of heat from leaving the door open (although it’s still not a good idea!). According to SEAV you can lose 5%-25% of your desired temperature from “air leakage” but lose 25%-35% from your ceiling!

Take full control of your energy & stop letting money leak through the roof!

According to a report by infrastructure group Pitt & Sherry, most Australian ceilings require a 50% increase in insulation efficiency, which could lead to a statewide saving of 52 MILLION dollars over 30 years. 

Even retrofitting is cost-effective and pays for itself through savings on energy bills in less than eight years, in almost every case. In a new build it costs around $1000... It's crazy that two-thirds of all Australian homes have air conditioning, but a third still don't have insulation.

Stop Wasting Energy: Upgrade Your Insulation Today

Upgrading your home’s energy systems without improving your insulation is like driving a car that leaks fuel—you miss out on the full benefits of increased efficiency. Most older homes still rely on outdated R3 blow-in insulation, if it even has any insulation! Victorian homes weren’t required to have insulation until 2001 and most R3 insulation today has become worn out, inefficient and a breeding ground for pests & vermin.

Even newer homes, typically insulated with R4.1 as standard by law, are not optimized to meet today’s energy demands. That’s where Lightning Energy steps in with a solution: our premium R7 insulation, made from Knauf Earthwool.

Cut Heating Costs by Up to 50% Whilst Saving the Environment

Switching to R7 insulation can transform your home’s energy profile by reducing heating costs by up to 50%. It’s like wrapping your house in a blanket, creating a barrier that keeps warm air inside during winter and cool air during summer, so your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard. This leads to lower energy bills, reduced wear and tear on HVAC systems, and an overall boost in efficiency.

Knauf Insulation’s Earthwool is also made from recycled environmental deposits, making it the better choice for your home and the planet!
