We noticed our pay Tv wire is in the man hole or roof access and the outlet is in our leisure....we r trying to work out why the wire is left unconnected to anything n just placed there in the roof access. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t Re: Building with Metricon 8119Nov 26, 2018 11:14 am Hi Guys, Just a question stuck in my head, please assist. with 2700 ceilings, Affordability doesn't allow to upgrade to double glazed windows / doors and insulation for walls and ceilings, Is it wise decision to stick with 2550 or double glazing / upgrading insulation isn't a necessity for 2700MM ceilings. Re: Building with Metricon 8120Nov 26, 2018 11:31 am If you have the higher ceilings, this will cause your energy bills to be higher (heating/cooling a larger space). If you have double glazing & better insulation, this will reduce your energy bills by making the house more energy efficient. Therefore, if you go 2700 ceilings and no double glazing/insulation upgrade, you will get the double whammy - higher bills for both larger space, and standard windows etc. It is completely your choice, but personally, for long term costings, I would do 2550 ceilings and double glazing, if the budget doesn't stretch to do 2700 ceilings and double glazing. But again, it comes down to personal choice. It may be more important to some to have the feel of the higher ceilings rather than worrying about the bills!
