Insulation + VEU rebate video

Signs your ceiling needs insulation

The short answer

Signs your ceiling needs insulation are rooms that lose heat fast in winter and hold it in summer, a heater and air con that run longer and harder to keep up, and missing, thin or patchy insulation visible from the manhole. Damp smells, droppings or flattened batts mean old insulation isn't working.

How do I know if my ceiling needs insulation?

Look for rooms that never warm up or bake in summer, higher heating and cooling use, and missing, thin or patchy insulation when you look in from the manhole.
