Raven, DraftStoppa and Draft Dodgers
Draught proofing is available as an add-on when ceiling or underfloor insulation is installed at your home on the same day. There is no minimum job cost for these add-on items for any Hume resident.
For concession card holders, Hume City Council rebates cover the draught proofing item costs listed below (up to the stated maximums). For non-concession residents, items are available at the itemised prices.
Other draught proofing items are available on request and can be quoted separately – for example caulking for wall and gap filling, heating vent close kits, and chimney draught stoppers.
All prices in the table include GST. Products are supplied and installed by Enviroflex.
* Hume regular price: Door seals, exhaust fan covers, and wall vent fill products have Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts applied when a minimum number of products are installed. The final price will be provided in a no obligation quote based on your specific circumstances and the particular draught proofing works to be carried out.

Safety notes
If your home has unflued or open-flued gas heaters you need to maintain adequate ventilation to operate them safely. You should not seal any fixed vents that are required for gas ventilation. Enviroflex staff can visit your home are determine which draught proofing works suit your circumstances.
Ventilation should be controlled, such as by using extractor fans or opening windows when cooking, showering or drying clothes inside. This helps reduce indoor humidity and the risk of condensation and mould.
