Year-Round Comfort With Attic Insulation

Upgrading crawlspace insulation is one of the most cost-effective and impactful home improvement projects you can do. It not only reduces chilly indoor drafts in the winter and muggy air circulating in the summer, it also lowers your energy bills, making your house more comfortable throughout the year.

Can You Over-Insulate Your Attic? Myths vs. Facts

There are three main ways heat travels through your house: conduction, convection and radiation. Insulation slows or stops all of these processes, preventing heat from escaping during the cold months and hot air entering in the warmer months. There are many different types of insulation, but fiberglass batt insulation and cellulose are two of the most common options. In addition, reflective insulation products like radiant barriers can be installed in your roof’s attic or rafters to reflect the sun’s heat away from the house, further lowering utility bills.

Boosts Your Home’s Energy Efficiency

Without adequate insulation, heat can escape during the winter and enter during the summer, forcing your heating and cooling system to work harder. With proper attic insulation, however, this process is minimized, allowing your HVAC systems to operate more efficiently and reducing the amount of time your home spends in “Overheat Mode.”

Wall insulation, when properly installed by a certified insulation contractor, seals the gaps and cracks that allow warm or cool outdoor air to seep into or out of your living spaces. This helps regulate the temperature and improves indoor air quality, a major selling point for potential buyers that can lead to increased home value.
