Attic Insulation
Are your heating and cooling costs going through the roof?
It’s quite possible they literally are, this is why, when it comes to making your home more energy efficient, look to the attic.
Many homeowners are concerned with how their homes “feel” and their heating and cooling bills.
It’s natural to look at what you see every day, like windows or heating and cooling equipment as the answers to the energy efficiency of your home.
While these things may help, without having a properly insulated and sealed attic space very little will get accomplished.
When’s the last time you looked in your attic? Would you know what to look for if you wanted to assess your home’s energy efficiency?
Most homeowners don’t, but with more than 4000 energy audits under our belts, not to mention our years within construction, we do.
Proper attic insulation, sealing, and ventilation save money and prevent problems.
- Attic SealingProperly sealing the attic space and adding adequate ventilation saves you money now and in the future.
- In-Home HumidityOne of the most common problems is in- home humidity trapped in the attic. The effects of this unseen problem can, over time, cause rot and mold damage to the roof.
- Proactivity By addressing the humidity problem in the attic, you’ll see where it emerges in other areas of the house. This will help you make further cost saving decisions and increase the comfort in your home.
- Reduce Bill CostsIf your attic isn’t properly sealed and ventilated, that escaping air can cause more than higher heating and cooling bills.
- Ice Damn DamageRoof damage from ice dams in the winter can reduce the life of your eavestroughs, soffits, and fascia. Not to mention the increased load on your furnace and air conditioner.
- More Than Just Your Attic An important part of attic insulation retrofit includes locating areas that need to be sealed, like chimneys, bathroom fans and unsealed top plates.
