In this episode of the Trends Property Insight Series, we sit down with Kevan Hunt of Elite Insulation to uncover the hidden system inside every home that quietly affects comfort, health, and energy use — insulation.


Drawing on more than a decade running one of Auckland’s leading insulation businesses, and experience across more than 25,000 homes, Kevan explains how insulation works, why it matters, and how homeowners can better understand what’s happening inside their walls, ceilings, and floors.


We explore what buyers should look for at open homes, how insulation standards have evolved under the Healthy Homes legislation and building code updates, and why even relatively small upgrades can make an immediate difference to how a home feels to live in.


Kevan also breaks down common misconceptions — including the myth that insulation is only important in winter — and explains how the right insulation helps regulate temperature year-round, keeping homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer.


Whether you’re buying, renovating, renting, or preparing a property for sale, this episode offers practical insight into one of the most cost-effective ways to improve comfort, reduce moisture issues, and create a healthier living environment.
