Ceiling & Subfloor Insulation for Homes in Tasmania

We install ceiling and underfloor insulation in hundreds of homes every year, and we know what a HUGE difference it can make to your comfort levels. Customers often report an increase in overnight ambient temperatures of approximately 10 degrees C when ceiling and subfloor insulation is installed in combination.

Ceiling Insulation

Ceiling insulation is one of the most cost-effective investments to make in a house, and insulation keeps the cold out and greatly improves comfort levels. Think of ceiling insulation as being like a doona being put on your house. HEG™ offers either a professional install service or insulation bag sales to DIYers or traders.

Also, keep your toes cosy and warm with Underfloor Insulation.

  1. Original Batts 15 to 20 Years Ago;
  2. Cellulose Blow-In Insulation After a Few Years, With Peaks and Valleys in the Insulation;
  3. Halogen Down Lights the Gap That Needs to Be Left, Lessening the Efficiency of the Insulation;
  4. An Insulation Top-up Over the Old Insulation;
  5. New House Insulation and
  6. Cross-Laid Insulation

Big temperature increases

Typical outcomes of an insulation upgrade in an existing home are a 6 to 7 degree Celsius increase in the overnight ambient temperature in winter and approximately 5 degrees Celsius cooler in summer.

Ceiling insulation reduces window condensation, reduces heating and cooling costs, and greatly improves the efficiency of ducted heating or air circulation systems. Insulation will compress and become gappy after 15–20 years, where an insulation top-up is required.

Also, consider using new LED lights, as traditional down lights will significantly reduce the effectiveness, even with new insulation.

Benefits of Ceiling Insulation

  • Retain heat within the home in winter;
  • Deflects the heat to keep the house cooler in summer;
  • Saves you money on heating and cooling bills, year round;
  • It will keep your internal environment comfortable;
  • It will not encourage or sustain insect, rodent, possum or bird infestations (glasswool batts);
  • Will add to the capital value and Energy Rating of your home; and
  • Will recycle vast quantities of glass bottles.

Underfloor Insulation

Underfloor insulation will increase the ambient temperature of the house by preventing air draughts between floorboards by creating an insulating air pocket under the floorboards, helping to trap heat in the house and keep the cold out.

A Protective Layer Under Your Feet

The floorboards will feel closer to room temperature AND stop air draughts – a double bonus. Typically, the overnight ambient winter temperature in a home will increase by about 3.5 degrees Celsius.

With underfloor insulation, warm air inside is not cooled down by a cold floor, and air leaks between floorboards are blocked.

Don’t rely on carpets to keep you warm. Underfloor insulation batts form a protective barrier against the outside elements, just like having the equivalent of 11 carpets and underlay under your floor.
