Why should you have to choose between energy savings and comfort, when you can have both?

If you find it difficult to keep warm or cool inside your home and your energy bills are on the rise, you probably have an air leakage problem.

Many homes built since 2005 have been issued with a FirstRate 5-star or better energy efficiency rating. Despite their star rating they still waste huge amounts of energy - and your money. Only 5% of star-rated homes tested so far actually provide the energy efficiency that their owners paid for.

It’s scientifically proven that excessive energy costs arise because the air that home owners have paid to heat and cool simply escapes into the environment. Established homes suffer even more from excessive air leakage.

An out of balance home means that comfort is much harder and more expensive to achieve and maintain. Too much air leakage results in inefficient energy usage and discomfort; too little results in poor air quality and a potentially unhealthy living environment.

Even homes with no heating or cooling systems benefit from reduced air leakage. During cooler months your home will not get cold so rapidly and it won’t heat up so fast in warmer months.

Air leakage testing has been mandatory in most European and North American countries for many years. Using technology that has been specifically developed for Australian conditions, Air Genius provides Australian home performance certification that is backed by science, direct measurement and fully qualified service providers.

Energy costs are lowered and your home is made more comfortable too. These benefits are immediate, easily attainable and extremely cost effective.

Depending on what climate zone you live in, it is not unusual to achieve a 50% reduction in the amount of energy used in heating and cooling your home. Savings apply whatever combination of gas and electricity your home uses. Structural changes are not required. Savings are not dependent on risky taxpayer subsidies that might change at the stroke of a politician’s pen.
