Replacing or retrofitting a ceiling with insulation is not a simple job and should be left to trained professionals, there is the chance of toxic poisoning, electrocution and injury to those poorly equiped.

Federal Government announces free insulation package

The Australian Government's Energy Efficient Homes Package is a $3.9 billion package to improve the energy rating of Australian homes - cutting their energy waste, making them more comfortable and helping households save up to 40 per cent on their electricity bills.

Under this program the Australian Government is offering:

free ceiling insulation worth up to $1,600 to all Australian home owner-occupiers with limited or no ceiling insulation
a rebate worth up to $1000 for landlords on the costs of insulating rental properties

EcoSmart only use Greenstuf Insulation Batts.

Grenstuf Polyester Batts are thermally bonded with no chemical additives. GreenStuf are made from 100% polyester fibre, bonded using heat instead of traditional chemical binders. Polyester is naturally resistant to fire, moisture, vermin, insects, mould and bacteria, eliminating the need for any chemical additives.

A high percentage of the polyester fibre in GreenStuf insulation products is made from recycled PET plastic, including plastic bottles and bags. GreenStuf and QuietStuf products are themselves fully recyclable at the end of their lives, minimising their potential impact on the environment.

Greenstuf are the only Insulation Batts with the Environmental Choice Accreditation.

Be aware of Fiberglass Batts:
The following quote is from BWG Enterprises Pty. Ltd./Peel Insulation Pty. Ltd.

"The most common material available in batt form is Fibreglass, available in yellow/gold or pink batts. It can be quite an effective insulator, however it is considered to be a dangerous, carcinogenic compound and we do not recommend it to anyone.

Manufacturers in the U.S. are required to state this on their products and it has even been banned in some states.

In Australia fibreglass is less regulated, however the government does not allow this material to be dumped in regular landfills - they must be disposed of by environmental authorities because of the alleged hazards associated with the material.

Clearly this is enough reason to stay away from fibreglass products. For more information on the dangers associated with fibreglass and certain other products,"

"A safe form of batt is the Polyester Batt, and we recommend that if you prefer batts over loose-fill material that you choose these. Polyester has been used for years in clothing and other textiles and is known to be very safe. It is just as effective as fibreglass batts and therefore the more preferred of the two".
