How much does it cost ?
Is it worth it ?
What if you are already living in the house ? Do you need to move for them to do their work?

Got companies do that but electric bill is going to be high. No need to move out.

Unless you are really out of space, I don;t thin it is worth it. If you convert to storage, then it will get full in no time with stuff that you don;t even look for laugh.gif

Why not just call the company. You can Goolgle. I remember found several quite some time ago.

This will reduce the heat but not much. The cement roof tile accumulate heat and radiate heat.

You can put insulator. Fridge just use polystyrene but you don't do that for house insulation. Not fire safe smile.gif

Have you used (or using) this wind turbine in your home?
If yes, does rainwater enter during heavy / strong winds kind of rain?

No I did not. It is designed in such a way that will not leak water even during heavy rain. I believe it has been tested. It even has wind strength rating.

Like other /k mentioned, if convert as storeroom, then it's OK.
But if you want to do like European style loft rooms, then perhaps not suitable.  sweat.gif

Can also. You can have double glass window with tint and good insulator. Just prepare for electricity bill only. biggrin.gif
