What your saying is correct really ceiling insulation is the most efficient way to reduce the loss/build up of hot/cold in your home. By insulating your roof you can reduce/retain heat loads by up to 12 degrees in winter summer. This protection against heat will also allow any air conditioning equipment you have in your home to operate more effectively and will mean less energy costs to efficiently keep your home comfortable.

The government is offering insulation rebates at the moment so if not already done, it may be worth taking them up on the offer. Just be sure to choose the right R value for your climate zone.

See http://www.perth-insulation.com Perth Insulation for help with choosing the r value suited to your home.

Branded Logic – UltraTouch interior insulation (thermal & sound)

Why? The insulation serves two purposes, making our office energy efficient for cooling or heating, and quieting down the office with the sound absorbing properties of the UltraTouch. The denim fiber is very dense and absorbs sound, especially from our equipment and workrooms. The recycled denim fiber is easy to handle and no itch.

Tis the season to check your insulation. And maybe get an energy audit. I read about that on this site and think that’s a great idea.

Thanks for the tips. I live in a very hot hot hot place, and my bills are insane in the summer. I’ll look into some better insulation soon.
