The Difference Your Attic Insulation Makes

Monday, February 15th, 2021

Depending on the way that your home is set up, you may not give your attic much thought. Maybe you use it for storage or maybe it’s just a part of your home that you have access to but never use for anything. Whatever your situation, your attic does warrant some consideration. Why? Because it is going to play a big role in your comfort throughout the year.

Believe it or not, your attic is one of the areas where you can have the biggest heat gain or heat loss over the course of the year. This is one of the reasons that insulation in this part of your home is so important. It can reduce the loss of cool air in the summer and warmth in the winter, allowing you to stay more comfortable. We provide attic insulation service to homes in the area because we know how big of an impact it can have.

How Often Should I Replace My Home’s Insulation?

Monday, April 29th, 2019

Just having walls and a roof is not enough to separate the indoor air from the harsh, outdoor air. That’s where insulation comes in.

Insulation is essential for keeping warm air where it needs to be. In summer, that means keeping the warm air outside of your home. In winter, it means keeping the warm air inside the home.

Not only will insulation help you feel more comfortable, but it will also help keep your home cool or warm—meaning less money spent on running the HVAC system.

However, insulation isn’t perfect. It can deteriorate over time and might need to be reapplied every few years. Since insulation stays out of sight and out of mind, many homeowners don’t realize that it might be the reason for their rising heating or cooling bill.

In this post, we’ll go over how often insulation should be replaced and why you should get help finding the right type and amount of insulation.
