With the rising cost of electricity in South Africa we need to find ways to cut costs. A simply way to cut heating and cooling cost is to install roof insulation. Insulation in South Africa has now become compulsory in all new homes and office blocks churches etc, being built in the country. In a typically un-insulated home you lose up to 35% of energy through the ceiling this however can be changed by installing insulation. A well insulated house requires up to 55% less energy to maintain its temperature.
In winter the heat in your home escapes though you roof by adding insulation you reduces heat loss up to 87%. This gives you a saving of 30% on your heating expenses.
In summer roof insulation will reduce the temperature in your home by up to 7°C. This will save you on cool cost and you’ll be saving natural resources as well.
