Not just comfort: it also saves a heap of money.
I live in Piha. House not double-glazed but great insulation.

CindyBax does it save on summer power bills too, or just winter bills? Do you run air conditioning in summer?

Most of New Zealand doesn't have aircon. More people are getting heat pumps but I just open doors and stay in the shade

Can you point me in the direction of those stats. There are a few of us that would love to see those.

Roscoe, I am always curious about age of homes too. May I ask how old your home is?

changleen.bsky.social•24 days ago

Built in the early 60s. Had it insulated and double glazed about 10 years ago. Made a world of difference.

How old is you home? Did yoy retrofit insulatin?

grizeldasma.bsky.social•24 days ago

Half id 5 years old half is new. No retrofitted indulation.

Was the new insulated to minimum code levels or did you go above that? This is very helpful information.
