Insulation is the unsung hero that shields your home from the harsh external elements, ensuring that the comfortable temperatures generated indoors stays put. It acts as a barrier against heat or cool air loss allowing you to maintain a consistent and pleasant indoor temperature. Insulation helps to reduce heat gain from the sun, minimizing the need for excessive air conditioning and lowering energy consumption in summer months. During fall, when temperatures start to dip, effective insulation becomes paramount in preserving comfort and minimizing energy consumption and your utility bill.
How insulation can save on energy costs:
- Attic Insulation: A significant amount of heat enters through the roof. Properly insulating your attic can dramatically reduce this heat transfer in the summer months and keep the warm air in during the cooler fall months. Combining different types of insulation, such as fiberglass and Clean Insulation, can create a highly effective barrier. We offer numerous attic insulation services. Clean attic insulation can result in lower energy usage because it regulates temperature better than old insulation. Heating and cooling systems don’t have to work so hard or run as often, which translates into lower energy bills. Call 877-926-9966, or email us for your FREE consultation »
- Window and Door Insulation: Check for gaps and leaks around windows and doors. Apply weatherstripping and caulking to seal these areas and prevent hot air from infiltrating your home and cool air escaping. This helps maintain energy efficiency and can lower your monthly utility bills.Call one of our experts today to schedule a consultation.
- Attic Ventilation: Proper ventilation, especially in the attic, can help prevent the buildup of heat in the summer or moisture in the cooler, wet months. Ridge vents and attic fans can assist in expelling hot air and maintaining a cooler environment in the summer.
