Advice & resources
This often means the maximum amount of power allowed to pass through the circuit is reduced. To change the amount of power on a circuit, we change the size of the fuse that protects it. In newer switchboards this can be a simple case of swapping out the fuse, in older boards it may require an upgrade of the switchboard in order to make the electrics compliant.
When it comes to choosing home insulation the rule of thumb has always been to choose the highest ‘R-value’ that you can afford. R6 batts cost more than R4 and provide better insulation. In the long run, however, the energy savings will far outweigh the initial cost of purchasing the more expensive batts.
There is nothing worse than the curse of draughty floorboards. Not wanting to get out of bed when those first cold wintery mornings start to arrive. The good thing is that it can all be fixed with our high-performance spray foam insulation.
Evaporative cooling vents can be a huge source of draughts and heat loss in winter. Sealing off the vent blades can be tricky, ineffective and quite frankly a pain to attempt! Whilst we’ve seen all kinds of DIY solutions for sealing the vents ranging from clear contact to custom made cushions stuffed into the ducts, by far the best solution is the heatsaver vent cover.
Are you a licensed installer? Check if the contractor holds the necessary license for the specific insulation product, as requirements vary. While some insulations may not require specialised licensing, others like spray foam demand an exclusive license.
When upgrading insulation, electrical work may be necessary due to the impact of thermal insulation materials on the home electrics.
Renovations/Repairs - If you're renovating your home or repairing the ceiling, you might need to take out the insulation to reach the structures underneath.

Our Clients Love us
Because of the nature of the job, I had some requests that would not come up very often and were not that easy to work around. I found not only did Alexander Watson take careful note of my needs, it was also very flexible as the date of parts of the installation had to be changed (they depended on other jobs having been done).
I would think that builders would find their competent staff and flexibility a huge benefit, as they would deal with a lot more moving parts some of which may be delayed than we did on our more simple insulation upgrade albeit a bit different from the norm.
