Home Insulation

• During the summer, the powerful sun can cause our homes to absorb a significant amount of heat, with temperatures in the attic reaching up to 170 degrees.

This heat enters the home and causes things to become warm and uncomfortable.

Homeowners are then faced with two options: either turn on the air conditioning and gain high electricity bills, or put up with the heat.

However, many people often find that their air conditioning never cools the house below 80 degrees. This is likely due to poor insulation where the heat is entering the home at the same rate as the AC is cooling it.

• Installing insulation in your attic and walls can make a huge difference.

It significantly reduces the amount of heat entering your home allowing it to stay cool for a longer period of time.

As a result, your air conditioning unit will run less often, saving you money on your electricity bills.

• Insulation is incredibly effective at retaining heat, making a significant difference in the winter.

Just as it blocks heat from entering your home during the summer, it also works to keep the heat contained within your home during the winter.

Often, homeowners complain of cold homes and furnaces that run continuously, and this is typically due to heat escaping at the same rate as the furnace is producing it.

Once you insulate your home, the heat is retained for hours longer, resulting in a warmer home that uses much less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature.
