First up, what is thermal comfort?

Thermal comfort is when your home feels just right - think ‘Goldilocks’ temperatures. Not too cold, not too hot, not draughty, stuffy, damp, glary or condensation streaming down your windows.

Most Australian homes do not hold comfort well. They leak warm air in winter, let heat in during summer, and force heaters and air conditioners to work much harder than they should.

Your body feels more than air temperature. It feels cold floors, hot glass, moving air, humidity and glare. That is why a bigger heater or cooler is never the best first move.

Fix your home first: seal the draughts, improve the insulation, deal with the windows and shade the hot glass.

Fix the way your home holds comfort, and everything else works better.

If that sounds good, what problem are you trying to solve?

Most people do not look for us seeking a “retrofit”, they arrive because something at home is not working.

My home is too hot

For homes that turn into ovens in summer and rooms that just refuse to cool down.

My home is too cold

For homes that feel cold, draughty or can’t hold heat - even when heating flat out.

My bills are too high

For homes where the energy bills are very high and your comfort is low.

I'm getting off gas

For homes ready to electrify - without making the shiny new heat pump fight a leaky tent.

Meet your new best friends …

Most homes do not become comfortable from one magic fix.
Greater comfort usually comes from the right combination of three things:

Draught Proofing

Home Insulation

home secondary double glazing blue EcoMaster

Window Treatments

So, where do you start?

The great news is, you do not need to try to fix your whole home in one go. Some people like to see a whole-house plan that can be done as budget and time allows, some need one particularly challenging room sorted first, some homes simply leaking air like a sieve and can’t retain comfort. And sometimes, life just takes over and presents a deadline. There are few life experiences more motivating than the arrival of a baby.

Choose the path that matches where you are right now.

I don't know where to start

Understand the sensible order for improving your whole home. What to do first to get the biggest bang for your buck, then second …

Draught proofing info hub

Draught proof first!

Keep the heating and cooling you are already paying for. Generally, it is the least cost and most effective retrofit.

Still have no idea what you need?

That is perfectly normal if you are new to the concept of thermal comfort. Most people know the room feels wrong. They do not know whether they need a door seal, vent cover, insulation, window treatment, chimney fix, or something else entirely.
