Episode 28 :: The benefits of effective insulation - transcript

[Animated opening sequence, music and title: EECA ENERGYWISE: The Energy Spot]

Jared is in a garden, there are a bunch of kids with him - and the kids have just finished setting up a tent. Jared says:
A tent can keep the rain off... but it can still get cold... inside.

The kids are now unrolling sleeping bags on a campbed or sleeping roll inside the tent as Jared says:
A sleeping bag keeps you warm and comfortable, by trapping heat in. Insulation in your home works the same way, and makes a real difference...

Jared now walks up towards the house.
But don't just take my word for it...

We now see the inside of the home, we're in a warm inviting family living area. Jared is chatting with the homeowner (Participant One), who says:
This house used to be like an icebox, now we don't lose that warmth, once it gets inside the house it stays inside the house.

Testimonial from Participant Two - Indicative couldn't believe the difference it made:
Cam had Asthma and after the insulation was put in - dramatic improvement. So instead of lying in bed listening to him cough all night we had a good night's sleep, both him and us.

Tracking mid-shot of Jared inside house, he says:
All New Zealanders with houses built before 2000 are eligible for Warm Up New Zealand: Heat Smart funding. Go to energywise.govt.nz now.

As he says this the website appear onscreen including the WUNZ tick logo.

Testimonial from Participant Three:
What you used to suffer through you don't have to put up with anymore.

Participant Two says:
Hugely better family environment - One that we can enjoy rather than endure.

We cut back to Jared as he sums up by saying:
Effective insulation and heating can mean fewer days with colds and sickness... which is better for all of us!
