Dialling up the warmth in Dunedin
As anyone who lives in Dunedin knows, winters in the South Island city can be bitterly cold. And when your house has no wall insulation, like Maria’s 1960s. brick home, keeping warm is an uphill battle!
With her children and grandchildren from the UK visiting for long stretches, a warm and comfortable home is really important to Maria. “When the family comes over, I want the house to feel cosy for them,” she says.
Having lived in her chilly home for over a decade, Maria knew it was time to make a change. “I saw the adverts for Insulmax®, and I knew it was exactly what I needed,” she says.
Maria was familiar with Insulmax®, having used similar insulation methods in her home country of Scotland. “My brother in the UK also had a product like Insulmax® installed many years ago, so I was familiar with how it worked,” she explains.
Seamless installation and an immediate difference
The insulation process itself went smoothly, taking just two days to complete. Maria was impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail from the Insulmax® team. “They did a great job. They left everything very tidy and clean – I still can’t find where they filled in the brickwork,” she says.
With the installation complete, Maria’s home is noticeably more comfortable. “The morning after it was installed, my daughter walked into the children’s room and noticed quite a difference,” she says. “There wasn’t that chill in the air.”
Seeing the savings
On top of the improved warmth, Maria is already seeing savings on her energy bills. “I’ve turned off the storage heater in the hallway now. In the last month alone, we saved around $30 on power,” she adds.
When asked if she’d recommend Insulmax®, Maria didn’t hesitate. “Oh yes, I definitely would!” she says. For Maria, it’s not just about feeling warmer but knowing her home is now comfortable for her family when they visit and more energy-efficient year-round.
