We are wasting a lot of electricity on air condition and gas on heater because of the older houses not having insulation in Melbourne. I know there is no law for older houses without insulation. But don't you think that by putting insulation to the ceiling will make a major usage difference in electricity and gas and people will leave a healthier life in Melbourne and save the world?.

Using a programmable thermostat in your home is one of the easiest ways to conserve electricity and energy (great home energy saving tip) that you can follow. Once installed and programmed, you can reduce energy costs and also start conserving electricity in the house as well.
