Thank you for this insulation for our home. This has made a huge difference already to us. The men who installed this were friendly and professional and a big thank you to them both.

My family and I would like to thank your organisation for the recently installed insulation. Your team worked quickly and professionally, and the result is a marked improvement in the temperature.

Thank you so much. We had batts put in the ceiling this morning. Your team was great. We can already notice a difference in the warmth of our old house.

Thank you very much for the curtains we received recently. It has made a HUGE difference to our home, and it is both warmer and more private as a result of hanging the curtains we received from you. They were delivered free of charge to our house by the insulation boys and it was a pleasant surprise to receive them.

We certainly feel very blessed that we met all the criteria and are now looking forward to the winter and being toasty warm. My children suffer from asthma and my husband has lung issues, so this is really going to make a huge difference to our lives and health.

I just wanted to thank you for having the insulation installed in my home. Even last night I noticed a difference and this morning the living area was still quite cozy when I got up.

Now that the work is completed on our house with the new downlights and the provision of additional insulation, we want to say thanks to CEA for the way this project was dealt with to provide us with greater warmth in our home for the later years of our lives. We are indeed very fortunate and want CEA to know we appreciate all you have done for us.
