AI summary
Prepare your home for winter by tackling heat loss. BRANZ identifies uninsulated windows, ceilings, and walls as the biggest culprits. Start by checking and upgrading your roof and underfloor insulation.
Address common draught sources like older windows, floorboards, and recessed downlights. Simple fixes include:
- Sealing gaps around doors and skirting boards
- Using draught stoppers
- Blocking unused chimneys
For long-term warmth, consider double glazing and perform regular maintenance like cleaning gutters and clearing foundation vents to prevent moisture.
