Perhaps you want to improve your home’s energy efficiency because you are tired of paying an arm and a leg in energy bills each month. Or maybe you just want to reduce your carbon footprint. Either way, insulation is a significant factor in a home’s energy efficiency, month to month cost and overall comfort. At Alexander Watson Insulation, we offer custom home insulation solutions in Canberra, including a convenient spray insulation application. With our products and knwohow, you will be able to boost your home’s Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) and save money on your monthly heating or cooling bills.
Understanding EER
EER is a score out of 10 that indicates how energy efficient a home is. A house that has a lower EER, for instance, 2 or 3, is not very effective. A home with an EER of 10 is incredibly efficient. All households in the Australian Capital Territory are scored on this scale. In fact, it is mandatory for all ACT homes to have EER scores. The rating must be disclosed at the time of sale or purchase. Only a government accredited energy assessor can provide a homeowner with an EER statement.
A home with a higher EER will be more attractive to potential buyers than one with a lower score. Many home buyers these days are actively looking for more sustainable housing options. Buyers are also conscious of how energy efficiency can impact their month to month living expenses. Homes that are going to have lower heating, cooling or electricity bills are attractive because they cost less to own and maintain in the long run.
As you might expect, insulation is a huge part of EER. Insulation that can successfully guard against heat transfer throughout the house will reduce the cost to keep the home heated during winter and air conditioned in summer. By lowering your home’s energy usage, insulation can also boost your EER score. Alexander Watson Insulation, with our solutions for spray insulation in Canberra, can help you find and patch gaps in your home’s insulation so that you minimise heat transfer across the board.
