How Insulation Can Save You and Your Home Money
Insulation is crucial in ensuring your home is comfortable and energy efficient. It can help you cut costs in various ways. Working with an insulation contractor may cost you money initially, but the amount you’ll save makes it well worth the price.
Protects Against Outdoor Elements
During winter, cold air seeps in through your attic and basement crawlspaces. It slowly infiltrates your home to create drafts around your windows and through gaps in your insulation. During summer, the heat in your attic slowly permeates the house. According to Energy Star, you can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 15% by adding insulation to these spaces.
Reduces the Need for External Cooling Systems
Homeowners spend thousands of dollars heating and cooling their homes. Investing in the energy for your HVAC system is essential, and the additional expense for fans, crucial for circulating air and maintaining a comfortable temperature, further adds to your costs. Putting money into high-quality materials with a professional insulation contractor can help keep your home comfortable by providing a much-needed barrier between your house and the exterior elements.
Prevents Costly Repairs
An HVAC system has to work significantly harder to keep your home comfortable when it’s constantly running. This additional strain leads to more HVAC repairs. You’ll also need to replace the system sooner because of the extra stress. However, when you invest in insulation, your unit won’t struggle to keep your home comfortable. This can save you thousands of dollars on repairs and replacements.
Saves Your From Unnecessary Costs
Each year, it's important to undertake efforts to protect your home against the elements. People stuff foam insulation by their windows to eliminate drafts. Expensive thermal curtains are necessary to help keep a home comfortable. These weatherization efforts cost money, and people repeat them yearly before winter hits. You won’t have to do this once or twice yearly to stay comfortable when you work with a professional insulation contractor.
Increases Property Value
Insulation won’t just save you money; it can also help you make more money. A properly insulated home reduces energy usage, making the home more eco-friendly. More potential buyers want to purchase energy-efficient homes, which can be a huge selling point when you place your house on the market. It can also increase your property value, so you’ll get a return on your investment.
