Prepare your home for winter by tackling heat loss and draughts. Experts from BRANZ identify windows, ceilings, and walls as the biggest sources of heat loss in uninsulated homes. Start by checking and upgrading roof and underfloor insulation.

Address air leaks from older windows, floorboards, and recessed downlights. Simple fixes like sealing gaps and using draught stoppers can make a big difference. For a larger impact and added home value, consider upgrades like double glazing and improved heating systems.
