With winter fast approaching, you are probably considering energy efficient ways to keep your house warm without breaking the bank.
There are several ways you can warm up your interior spaces. For small rooms, you could use portable electric heaters, which can efficiently heat small areas quickly. But these heaters are also expensive to run.
Larger areas can be heated using portable gas heaters. Most are electric/gas hybrids that just require a power outlet to run, removing the need for a complicated installation. Also, being portable, you can move the heater to another room depending on your needs.
However, if you’re looking to heat your entire house, you can’t go past ducted/central heating. Using a compressor (installed outside the house or in the roof), warm air is distributed throughout the house through ducted vents located in selected rooms. Temperatures can be easily controlled and monitored using a central control panel.
Although these are great ways to heat your home, the most important aspect of home heating is the ability to keep the heat inside, and the best way to do that is through insulation.
When most people think of insulation, usually wall and ceiling insulation solutions come to mind. While walls and ceilings play an important role in home insulation, one area most commonly forgotten (but just as important) is the floor.
Expol underfloor insulation is designed to block cool air from coming in, or heat from escaping within interior spaces. This easy-to-install DIY solution makes it perfect for retrofitting to existing homes.
The concertina panels of the Expol system fit snugly between floor joists, creating a thermal barrier against the elements, which ensures you remain warm in winter and cool in summer – for life.
So whether you are looking to fix your existing property, or are building a new home, Expol underfloor insulation is the perfect solution for comfort across all seasons.
