Weather Sealing your Melbourne Home

In Melbourne, we’re lucky to experience both the cold and the hot. Melbourne’s weather can fluctuate from -3°C to 46°C so we need energy-efficient homes and businesses that can keep warm temperatures in during winter and cold temperatures in during summer.

Weather sealing your home can help maintain a more consistent temperature in your home as well as provide cost-savings.

By sealing air leaks around windows, doors, and other openings, you can prevent the loss of heated or cooled air, reducing the workload of your heating or cooling systems and resulting in lower energy consumption and energy bills. This can also create a more comfortable indoor environment by reducing drafts and maintaining a consistent temperature. In addition, weather sealing can help reduce noise and protect your home from moisture and pests. 

Weather sealing your Melbourne home is a great solution that can offer significant long-term benefits.And even better – it’s FREE!

What is Weather Sealing?

Weather sealing your Melbourne home or business is the process of sealing air leaks around windows, doors, and other openings, like exhaust fans to prevent the loss of heated or cooled air. It can create a more comfortable indoor environment by reducing drafts and maintaining a consistent temperature.

Why is Weather Sealing FREE in Victoria?

Weather sealing is offered for free through the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program as part of the government’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy efficiency. The VEU program provides incentives to households and businesses to undertake energy-saving activities, including weather sealing, by issuing certificate for the amount of carbon emissions saved.

Improving the energy efficiency of your home or business by weather sealing can reduce your energy demands, carbon emissions and energy costs.

Great idea and product!
