When the weather outside is even just a few degrees hotter or colder than your preferred indoor temperature, then the solution is thermal insulation.<\/p><h2><strong>Ceiling insulation<\/strong> R-Value matters<\/h2><p>Without ceiling insulation, the indoor temperature will &#8216;follow&#8217; the outside temperate, and even with a heater on, you will likely find yourself struggling to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, especially on chilly winter evenings. The solution is ceiling insulation with a sufficient <a href=\"https:\/\/pricewiseinsulation.co.nz\/r-value-mean-much-need\/\">R-Value<\/a>. Bulk insulation such as glasswool and polyester contains millions of tiny air-pockets. These drastically slow down the heat transfer process, which is how insulation works. A thicker insulation segment will have a higher R-Value, and will be more effective.<\/p><h2>Analysis: Benefits of insulation vs cost<\/h2><p>Doubling the insulation R-Value will not double the energy efficiency of your home. The law of diminishing returns is very applicable here. And it&#8217;s not a fixed equation either &#8211; should energy prices skyrocket a few years down the track, then there may be many home owners wishing that they&#8217;d installed a higher R-Value at the time. We are frequently asked, &#8216;How much does it cost to insulate a house?&#8217; The real question, however, considering\u00a0energy prices on the rise, is &#8216;How much will it\u00a0cost me NOT to insulate a house?&#8217;<\/p><h2>What we recommend at Pricewise Insulation<\/h2><p>As a rule of thumb, if you&#8217;re building a new home or installing ceiling insulation in a new home in or around Auckland,\u00a0we recommend R3.6 or higher.\u00a0This is typically around 17cm thick, and provides a good level of thermal\u00a0protection. Upgrading to an R4.1 or above will moderately increase the energy efficiency of your home, and could also result in real $$ savings if energy prices continue to rise.<\/p><div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-45958332\"><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"col-330481714\" class=\"col medium-1\/1 large-12\"  data-animate=\"fadeInDown\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Auckland&#8217;s climate is characterised by pleasant warm summers and cool winters.
