Insulation Saves you Money
Upgrade your home with energy efficient insulation, one of the quickest energy-payback projects you can do, resulting in lower heating and cooling bills and increased comfort.
Even if you live in an older home, there's no reason you need to shiver through the winter or roast in the summer. If your house doesn't have enough insulation -- common in homes built before 1980, when energy awareness began to take hold -- bringing it up to current standards will make it more comfortable all year long. Plus, you'll save anywhere from 10% to 50% on heating and cooling bills. The amount of savings for upgrading insulation depends on many factors, including where you live, what type of heating system you have, and how much insulation you add
There are Different Types of Insulation
On each type of insulation, a label states the R-value per inch, a measure of resistance to heat transfer. The bigger the number, the more effective the insulation. Where space is tight, such as within wall cavities, you need a high R-value per inch. In an attic or under a floor, where there is more room, you can boost the insulation value of a lower-rated material simply by using a thicker layer.
As a rule, the more insulation you add, the more money you'll save. But there is a point beyond which you can spend more on materials than you'll recoup in lower energy bills. The tipping point varies depending on where you live. You can REQUEST A FREE AUDIT and we will give you specific recommendations for the right amount of insulation for your climate.
Our Recommendations
if you are ready to start saving money by adding insulation, we recommend adding insulation in the following order:
- Adding Insulation in the Attic: The attic is a great place to start, because adding insulation there is quick, easy, and cost-effective. (To make any insulation upgrade more cost-effective, it's a good idea to SEAL AIR LEAKS first.)
- Walls on Main Floors:
- Basements and Crawl Spaces:
