Australian homes “are not built to cope with winter cold”, according to Better Renting’s Cold and Costly report, which monitored temperatures and experiences across the country this winter.
Ringwood East’s Ben Kreunen benefited from a new heating system partway through his participation in the study, and his comfort has improved exponentially.Mr Kreunen said the previous gas ducted system could not compete with the cold air and was so old it had fahrenheit on it. It was only replaced when it was deemed a fire risk.
Mr Kreunen, whose cats Rommie and Chanelle had helped keep him warm before the new 3.5 star system was put in, said insulation was the key factor in winter and summer.
