Education and quality assurance vital to safe insulation program
Education, better management and quality assurance are key to ensuring the best outcomes from the insulation, solar and other
energy efficiency measures funded by the Federal Government, Mr Danny Morgan, Managing Director of Enact Energy
Australian said today.
Enact Energy operates the national Green Project,
which has installed insulation, solar heating and other green measures into
thousands of Australian homes, in order to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings.
We recommend householders ask for proof that the product meets Australian Performance Standards and comes with life time
warranties on the safety and performance of the product. This should include the insulation being fire safe and noncombustible to
the Australian Standard.
Improved building energy efficiency is a relatively new initiative in Australia and one that has never been practiced by any
government on such a large scale.
Mr Morgan said, Education and training and quality assurance are vital to safe and reliable home improvements.
It is important for householders to choose reputable installers with certified products. Insulation stays in your roof for the life of
your home and you get what you pay for. It is vital that installations are professionally done, the safety of Australian families is
too important to cut corners on installation quality.
Consumers should also look for reliable installers who include random follow-up inspections of installations and provide quality
assurance on all installations. This will help homeowners feel sure they are getting the best and most reliable product available for
the price, Mr Morgan said.
Through its national Green Project Enact Energy also offers a comprehensive home energy efficiency service including a free
information service, free home energy audits and subsidised solar hot water systems and heat pumps..
Mr Morgan said, If homeowners are unsure about what product to install, they can call the national Green Project hotline on
1800 442 443.
The Green Project was set up by Enact Energy as an additional service to the Federal and State Governments drive for more
energy efficient lifestyles.
This unique program takes the worry out of finding a provider for home energy efficiency products including insulation.
The Green Project brings it all together; ensuring that the right products available under various government rebate schemes are
installed to a high standard, Mr Morgan said.
