Insulation R-value: The R value is a measure of a material’s resistance to heat flow. The higher the R value, the greater the insulating effect, resulting in improved thermal comfort. Enviroflex staff can visit your home and assess the existing amount of insulation and either install new insulation or top up existing.
Ceiling insulation must achieve a minimum of R5, either through a new installation, or by adding to existing insulation to reach a combined R5.
As a guide to the area of ceiling to be insulated, your home’s floor plan document may include floor area (sq m).
* Base price: The final cost of your installation will be provided in a free, no obligation quote. The final cost depends on your specific circumstances, such as an electrical inspection and/or removal of existing insulation where necessary.
Some households will be eligible for the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) insulation discount. This is expected to reduce the average cost of ceiling insulation installation by approximately 30–50%. Read more about the insulation discount.

Note that ceiling insulation jobs through the program require a current Electrical Safety Assessment form. You may choose to have Enviroflex’s electrician provide the form (at a cost of $280) or arrange one through a suitably qualified electrician.
If you choose to engage your own contractor to issue a Electrical Safety Assessment form it MUST have the following statement included in the submission to Energy Safe Victoria and to Enviroflex prior to the install:
- “Inspection confirming that the dwelling is wired in accordance with AS3000-1986 or subsequent additions.”
OR
- “Inspection confirming that the dwelling is not wired in accordance with AS3000-1986 or subsequent additions, but that the electrical cables present are safe to be surrounded by bulk thermal insulation.”
