Insulation for Existing Homes

If you live in an older home, chances are your insulation may not be up to modern standards and you may be losing significant heat in the winter and cool air in the summer. Poor insulation can lead to higher energy bills, uncomfortable temperature fluctuations, and moisture-related issues. Topping up your existing insulation, or replacing it entirely is one of the most effective ways to improve the health of your home and it's long-term durability. Here at Auckland Insulation Ltd, we provide a range of services that will raise your home's comfort and overall condition, with detailed options to suit your needs and budget.

  • Ceiling Insulation

    Ceiling insulation plays a crucial role in maintaining indoor temperatures, as heat naturally rises. Without adequate insulation, your home can lose a significant amount of warmth in winter and absorb excessive heat in summer. Upgrading your ceiling insulation helps stabilise indoor temperatures, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, which in turn lowers heating and cooling costs. This improvement enhances indoor comfort and energy efficiency while also helping to reduce noise transmission. In some cases, the insulation in your roof may be in good condition but require a top-up layer to boost effectiveness and meet current building standards. In other cases, it may have deteriorated due to water damage, pests, or age. When this happens, we provide both insulation removal and the installation of our high-quality, long-lasting ceiling insulation.

  • Underfloor Insulation

    Cold air can seep into your home through gaps in the floor, making your living space feel chilly and uncomfortable, especially during winter. Underfloor insulation acts as a thermal barrier, preventing heat loss and keeping your home warmer for longer. With a choice of our premium product range, underfloor insulation is essential for minimising drafts and cold floors, enhancing overall energy efficiency, preventing moisture buildup and dampness.

  • Ground Moisture Barrier

    Moisture control is essential for protecting your home’s structure and maintaining good indoor air quality. A ground vapour barrier is a protective layer of polyethylene that prevents moisture from rising into your home’s insulation and living areas. Without it, excess moisture can lead to mould, rot, poor indoor air quality, and decreased insulation effectiveness. As per New Zealand’s Healthy Homes standards, a ground moisture barrier is required for all rental properties with an enclosed subfloor space, unless impractical to install, to prevent moisture from seeping up from the ground.  A properly installed ground vapour barrier helps maintain a dry, healthy home environment, and our installation team are expert in ensuring proper coverage and durability.

  • Insulation Removal

    Older insulation materials may not always meet today’s standards for energy efficiency and performance. Over time, insulation installed decades ago can become less effective due to outdated materials, settling, or external factors like moisture and pests. Fortuneatly we offer an insulation removal service which helps to replace old or inefficient insulation with modern, high-performance options. We carefully remove and dispose of the outdated material, preparing your space for an upgrade that will improve comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term performance.
