When thinking about home improvement priorities, attic insulation tends to be overlooked more often than not. It is estimated that approximately 2/3 of U.S. homes are not properly insulated. However, if you’ve received a utility bill in the past year that made you cringe, adding attic insulation is one of the best things you can do to help alleviate the issues of heat loss, heat penetration, temperatures control of and make your home more energy efficient. With just this simple home improvement, not only will you make your home more comfortable during cold winters AND hot summers, but it practically pays for itself in the amount of money you save on your utility bills over the course of an average 3-5 year span! The money saving, energy efficiency, and home protection benefits of properly insulating your home’s attic are numerous, including-
- preventing heat (which rises) from escaping through your roof in the winter months, causing your utility bills to skyrocket and your home’s heating system to work harder and wear down faster
- likewise, preventing the attic from overheating in the summer months, which then causes the home to warm, utilities to rise, and your home’s cooling system to work harder and wear down faster
- preventing personal belongings from damage, if they are being stored in the attic
- preventing harmful bacteria such as mold or mildew from cultivating and spreading into the wood components of your attic’s structure
- preventing damage to your roof, such as premature rot caused by frost and moisture on the backside of the roof sheathing
It is recommended to have your attic insulation checked at least once within a 10 year span, because attic insulation breaks down over time. We don’t remove the existing insulation, but rather blow in additional material where needed to seal the attic bypasses with the existing insulation in place- this is a much more cost effective method for our customers as well.
