Insulation Installer issues - has anyone else faced this ?

[rohit]

Had underfloor insulation work done recently on one of my rentals for a quoted price and with 46 sq m area noted on the quote which is what the underfloor area is anyway. Then after the installation the installer comes back and says "76 sqm of old insulation was removed and 76 sq m installed "!!!...

Hi all,
I have a 60's brick veneer clad (cavity type) and concrete tile state-house-style type house.
We have the internal wall linings off the house for rewiring by electricians.

Most of the house except 1 room has existing building paper. In that one room the building paper...

Morning,

The previous owners of our rental had insulation installed in the ceiling and underfloor around 5-10 years ago but there's no info on the R-values on the install stickers, just dates. Due to a change in management the installers claim they have destroyed all records before a certain...

I am looking at a 90s house that is brick on ground floor and stained wood where the roof triangle area is.
The house plan is very basic but the drawings do not appear to show much, very basic in those times.
There is a line that says "75mm fibreglass batts to outside walls.

Someone told me that a house built in 2017 is much warmer than one built in 2005.
I tried to search the building code change that necessitated this jump in build quality (and cost!)

If I were looking to buy a house that is built better than one in 2005 say, what year of building...

The new Minimum Standards for insulation come into force next week.

We are conducting research to estimate how prepared the industry is and to also establish what will be required to meet the Healthy Homes Standards coming into force in 2021.

Have a heater that can heat the main living area to 18 degrees Celsius.

What is the situation with insulation these days? One of our rentals (bought in 2014 at which point it had foil insulation with wool installed on top of it - nothing done to update it) is apparently having trouble.

Tenant is complaining it is too cold in the property / damp.

Evening all ... first post

I'm doing my own design, consent and build under an owner builder exemption for a new family home we've purchased in Auckland. The work will involve some exempt items as well as a new deck and insulation to external walls. I'm fine with the fact I require...

Hi,

I am wanting to remove the underfloor insulation on my property to put something better under there due to the current state of the foil and not actually working.

I only realised last night there was law changes on the foil insulation about repair, install etc.

My rental was a new build in 2006.

I have only just thought of this people. With the new laws regarding insulation in rentals, who checks the insulation in the properties at the end of the tenancy as part of the outgoing inspection?

The amount of money involved, I suggest it may be prudent to put it into outgoing inspections...

The insulation installing industry has been rorting the government over the insulation subsidy and the media and the politicians seem to be turning a blind eye.
I have a quote involving the subsidy:
Full price: $4636.80
Subsidy: $2318.40 - from the taxpayer and into the insulation...

Howdy,

I have 2 quotes to get insulation installed. One is a decent amount more but uses a different product. Any one know if there is any real performance difference between them. IE should I pay extra for the more expensive quote?
