Why You Need Insulation in Your Home

During the cooler months, it’s easy to spend lots of money and energy on heating your home. But did you know there’s a simple solution to help you cut back on all of that? If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to insulate your home. Here’s why it works:

Improves energy efficiency. There are a few areas in the home you will want to insulate: the attic, walls, floors, basement, and crawlspace (if you have one). When your living space is insulated, it acts as a blanket that keeps all the heat inside, helping your central heating system to slow down and not have to work as hard.

Lowers utility bills. The cost to heat your home is expensive. But when your home is energy efficient, you ultimately save money on your utility bills. The way insulation cuts costs is that it resists heat flow, acting as a barrier that keeps heat from escaping the room.

Creates more comfort. The less heat that escapes your living space, the more comfortable you will feel. Insulation essentially provides layers and layers of thermal blockage in your walls and floors, improving the overall level of comfort in a room and adding warmth when you need it most.
