Reduce Your Electric Bill

Research released by the Institute of Public Affairs in 2010 reveals electricity prices have increased at four times the rate of inflation over the last five years. Many analysts believe this trend will continue with electricity prices to at least double and perhaps triple over the next 10 years. This would mean the average household could expect to pay an extra $1500 per year for electricity by 2020, equivalent to about an extra $30 per week taken from the household budget.

What if you could reduce your energy consumption thus reducing your costs? YOU CAN with Insultec Heat reflective membrane, a low cost simple way of reducing your energy bills.

AE Smith Westair is the largest privately owned commercial air conditioning and mechanical services contractor in Australia. A study they performed in Karratha Western Australia found that the electricity consumption by the air conditioning system in a building with the roof painted with Insultec was 60% lower than that in a building not painted with Insultec. The graph below records the temperature variation measured from identical locations in the ceiling spaces of the two buildings.

A study carried out by the South Australian Department of Road Transport found similar reductions in internal temperatures following the application of Insultec. The reduction in internal temperatures, when the ambient temperature was the same, was found to be dramatic.

The Bureau of Meteorology in Charleville also found that the application of Insultec to the aging asbestos roof of its building not only significantly extended its life (saving the cost of re-roofing) but also found that “internal air conditioner usage and costs are now approximately half as much as previously.”

Reducing the energy consumption of your building will greatly reduce your exposure to the very real impact of electricity price increases on your household or businesses budget!
