Winter Woes

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

It really feels like winter now with all the storms and freezing weather that have been blowing around. I’ve found it gets very annoying rugging up to keep warm in the house – you should only be dressing up to go outside. If you have this sort of problem or you’re receiving a large electrical bill for your heating costs, why not consider installing some of our underfloor heating (ie. Speedheat and Coldbuster) and insulation. The underfloor heating can go under your carpets, lino, tiles, wooden floors or even under a rug! Because hot air rises, the idea of underfloor heating is extremely smart – warming first your toes and then working its way up to the ceiling. Generally a lot of heat is lost throught the ceiling, so we also install insulation – thus trapping the heat inside your house. But it gets even better…
As of July the 1st, the government rebate scheme (if you don’t know what this is check out our previous posts) is changing so that you don’t pay out any money at all (If your quote is $1600 or under. If it is over $1600, you will pay only the balance.). At the moment you are paying us and sending out the paperwork after which the government reimburses you. But after the 1st of July the government will pay us directly.

By installing both underfloor heating and insulation, not only will you majorly decrease your heating bills but you and your family will enjoy a cosy, warm home all winter long!

Being cooped up inside due to bad weather always emphasises the lack of space in your home – storage space. Where to put the Christmas decorations, kids old school projects, camping gear or sentimental keepsakes? Well how about your roofspace? In most homes there is enough space between the ceiling and the roof to be transformed into a storage room. But how to get up there safely and easily? Install an Attic Ladder! These ladders are more like a folding staircase which when not in use can be folded back up into your roof – and all that you can see is what looks like a manhole cover… For more information and to check out our page on Attic Ladders, please click on the link at the top of the page.

Lack of space isn’t the only thing that winter weather highlights: Less sunlight means that its darker inside your home. Dim hallways and poorly lit rooms means constantly turning lights on and off. Once again there’s a solution! Skylights and Velux roof windows let the outdoor light into your home, illuminating your passages and rooms. They are available in many sizes, prices, shapes, colours and designs – click on the link at the top of the page for more information.
