Prepare your home for winter by tackling heat loss and draughts. BRANZ identifies windows, ceilings, and walls as major culprits. Start by checking roof and underfloor insulation and addressing any underfloor moisture.

Seal common air leaks from older windows, floorboards, and recessed downlights. Small fixes like draught stoppers help, while major upgrades like double glazing add significant value.

Regular maintenance is also vital; Realsure advises cleaning gutters and clearing foundation vents to keep your home warm and dry.
