Attics aren’t just for storing old furniture and holiday decorations. Attics are way more useful than that. Your attic can save you on your monthly energy bill. By installing insulation into your attic, you can save on your cooling and heating costs. Here’s how you can start saving by adding attic insulation.
Home insulation reduces the transfer of heat into or out of your home. Insulation comes in different materials. These include fiberglass, mineral wood, and polystyrene. Insulation traps tiny air pockets to slow down the movement of heat. It traps heat in the home in winter and prevents heat from entering in summer.
The first step when considering insulation is to book an inspection. A licensed attic insulation professional will determine if you need an insulation repair or replacement. Crawling around your attic is tricky at the best of times. Trained professionals know exactly what to look out for. They will assess your existing insulation for air leaks. If your insulation has deteriorated beyond repair, you will need a replacement.
Home insulation reduces the reliance on your HVAC unit by keeping the heat out of your home. Cooling costs can account for more than half of your monthly energy consumption. Attic insulation can help you save up to 11% of your utility bill each month.
Insulating your home will improve its market value. With rising energy costs and hot South Florida summers, a well-insulated home is an attractive prospect to a buyer. An energy-efficient home will tempt buyers to put in an offer. Think of insulation as an energy saver, but also as an investment.
Attic insulation isn’t only a money saver, it also comes with some other key benefits.
Investing in attic insulation is investing in your family’s comfort. Not only will they be breathing in better quality air, but they’ll be more comfortable at home. And with many Americans spending up to 90% of their time at home, there has never been a better time for home insulation.
Your existing attic insulation may not be saving you much on energy bills. If it’s badly deteriorated, you may not be saving money at all. A home insulation upgrade could improve your monthly savings.
In South Florida, radiant barrier attic insulation is recommended. This is a heat reflective system made from aluminum foil or metallic paint. Radiant barrier attic insulation is very effective at keeping your home comfortable. It reflects approximately two-thirds of ambient heat in your attic into the atmosphere.
