Insulation is one of those jobs where the advice online is either written for the northern hemisphere or written to sell you something. Victoria has its own conditions — cold, damp winters, genuinely hot summer stretches, a huge stock of pre-1990 homes with little or no insulation, and a state rebate scheme that changes what a job costs.
These guides come out of what we actually find on site: what R-value is worth paying for and where the extra spend stops returning anything, how to tell whether old batts need removing or just topping up, what ceiling insulation and underfloor insulation realistically cost in this market, and which problems insulation will not solve. If a question here is not answered, ask us directly — we would rather talk you out of an unnecessary job than sell you one.
