The Importance Of Insulation
The insulation throughout your home is one of the key determining factors as to how much heated and cooled air will remain inside. That’s because insulation is specifically designed to resist heat. And heat is naturally attracted to cooler air, no matter the season. Here’s what happens:
During summer, insulation will resist the movement of heat from the outside, so that your home’s cooling load doesn’t increase, causing your air conditioner to work longer and harder, and thereby consuming more energy and raising cooling costs.During winter, insulation resists the movement of heat from within the house, keeping more heat inside, which reduces the heating load of the home and energy bills.
Attic Insulation
Attic insulation is a key area that homeowners can focus on when improving whole-house energy efficiency. That's because it's easy for a contractor to access, and upgrading insulation there can greatly reduce energy consumption.
Upgrading attic insulation will immediately offer three significant benefits:
Improving energy efficiency and savings on cooling/heating bills.Increasing the value of your home. Boosting home comfort.
