Reduce Utility Bills With Insulation

Reduce Utility Bills With Insulation

During winter, insulation contractor energy costs are a challenge for many homeowners, especially in homes that have substandard insulation. A professional can perform a comprehensive home energy audit using specialized tools, such as a thermal camera and thermometer to pinpoint cold or hot spots, and a blower door test to depressurize the house to locate air leaks that need sealing, helping you determine if your current insulation is doing its job.

Proper insulation helps prevent heat loss from walls, ceilings and floors, which means your heating or cooling system doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your home comfortable. This reduces wear and tear on your HVAC equipment, extends its lifespan and can help you save on heating and cooling costs year after year.

Reliable Residential Insulation Experts You Can Count On

When selecting insulation, be sure to consider its grading or R-Value. The higher the R-Value, the better the insulation performs. There are a variety of insulation types that can be used in different areas of the home and at different price points. Cellulose insulation is a mold- and pest-resistant option that can be blown into attics or wall cavities, while spray foam comes in open- and closed-cell varieties that expand to fill gaps and cracks.

Properly insulating your home also has an impact on the environment, since fewer fossil fuels are burned to power your home and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, if you install fiberglass insulation in your attic, you can earn a tax credit worth up to 30% of its cost until 2025.
