The best home improvement project you can take on this year is improving your home’s insulation. You may not think of it that much but mind you, proper insulation can bring you lots of great benefits. We have listed some of these below:
Reduces Energy Bill
No one wants to spend too much on the monthly energy bill. Good thing, with proper insulation, the efficiency of your home is improved. Your home’s insulation helps in keeping the cool air from the A/C or warm air from the heater inside your living space. It also prevents the outside air from getting in and adds pressure to your system. With this, your heating and cooling systems don’t need to work hard to meet the temperature set in the thermostat.
Lessens Carbon Footprint
Do you know that by improving your insulation you are playing your role in saving the environment? Proper insulation reduces your HVAC system’s energy consumption, thus decreasing your home’s carbon footprint. When the conditioned or heated air is not leaking out through the gaps and holes, you support the green lifestyle and become a good steward of nature.
Maintains Good Health
One of your worst enemies when it comes to IAQ is moisture build-up. It allows for the growth of harmful microorganisms that bring health issues and complications. Good thing, proper insulation prevents moisture from settling in the attic, walls, ceilings, and crawlspaces. With this, you can have peace of mind knowing that your indoor air is safe for everyone in the house.
Improves Comfort
Poor insulation makes it too hard for your heating and cooling system to give your home a suitable temperature. This is because no matter how much your unit works, your home is allowing the exchange of hot and cold air from the inside and out or vice versa. As a result, you will notice hot and cold spots and a very uncomfortable temperature inside.
Adds Value to your Home
When you are ready to put your home on the market, proper insulation can add more value to your home and attract potential buyers. This is because many homeowners prefer an energy efficient living space more than anything.
