Stop your home’s heat loss by insulating your floors.
If your floor isn’t already insulated, this could be a good move to help warm your home and cut your energy costs. About 20% of heat loss occurs through the floor in un-insulated houses. It’s possible you may also be eligible for a Warmer Kiwi Homes grant for this upgrade! (terms and conditions apply).
Understand why floor insulation is so important.
Insulating your floors is an important part of sealing your homes thermal envelope, and in many older New Zealand homes, floor insulation has been overlooked.
Having adequet underfloor insulation is now a requirement in newer homes, however many older homes built on piles lack a proper floor insulation, creating a break in your thermal home’s thermal envelope. Poor underfloor insulation means air can easily escape through the floors of your home, making it difficult to heat and cool your home.
Absolute Energy can install underfloor insulation to the underside of your floor to help seal this area of your thermal barrier. It’s a quick and easy process and makes an enormous difference to your home environment.

Choosing the right insulation solution
How to decide which floor insulation solution is right for you.
Insulation in your home is crucial for maintaining comfort and energy efficiency, but it doesn’t last forever. Many homes in the South Island may have inadequate or outdated floor insulation, leading to significant heat loss. In fact, about 20% of heat from an average uninsulated home escapes through the floor, impacting your home’s warmth and increasing heating costs.
At Absolute Energy, we can help enhance your floor insulation to ensure your home remains comfortable and energy-efficient. We offer a range of insulation solutions tailored to different needs and preferences. For example, polyester underfloor insulation is durable and resistant to moisture, making it a great choice for many homes. Wool underfloor insulation provides natural thermal performance and is eco-friendly, while blown insulation can efficiently fill gaps and uneven spaces, offering high-performance heat retention.
Choosing the right insulation depends on your home’s specific requirements and your personal preferences. Our team at Absolute Energy is here to provide expert advice and help you select the best insulation product for your floor. To get started, book a free insulation assessment of your property, and we’ll guide you through the options to improve your home’s energy efficiency.
