To make certain your home is as energy efficient as possible, you must use insulation to create a what is called a "thermal envelope" around your home. Heat moves from warm areas to cold ones, so on cold days, the heat in your home tries to get to the colder air outside, and on warm days, the outside heat tries to get inside your home. Insulation helps to ensure that you home stays as comfortable as possible and helps to drastically reduce your costs for heating and cooling.

Insulation is the most basic and cost effective way to lower make your home more energy efficient your homes energy usage and improve the comfort level of your home.

Insulation is an important part of your home's construction and essential for keeping your home as quiet, comfortable and energy efficient as possible. Recent studies from the U.S. Department of Energy found that over a third of new homes have lower levels of insulation installed than specified and an additional fifth have serious installation problems that result in significantly decreased effectiveness of the insulation. In addition, virtually all of the homes studied were found to have numerous insulation installation defects that reduce the performance of the insulation well below its rated R-value.

-- WARNING --

If the insulation in your home is over 20 years old it is no longer effective. Insulation breaks down and no longer is able to do its job and ward away heat. Many homes are wasting 60-70% of their energy because of this broken down insulation and drastically increasing their utility bills. Also with age it gets dirty and becomes filled with bacteria and is unhealthy for you and your family.

What is the benefit of insulation?

Heating and cooling systems consume 50% to 70% of the energy used in the average American home. You will save on your energy costs if you reduce the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling. Insulation helps your home retain heat in cold weather and reject heat in warm seasons.

Doesn’t my house already have insulation?

It probably does not have enough. In much of the housing in America, attic insulation levels are inadequate at best. That is because many homebuilders only offer standard and not optimal levels of attic insulation, in order to maintain competitive selling prices. Older homes are also very likely to have inadequate attic insulation. But even in a newer home, additional attic insulation will save enough money in reduced utility bills to pay for itself, and those savings will, of course, continue year after year. Upgraded attic insulation will also increase the value of your house.

How does insulation work?

Heat flows naturally from a warmer to a cooler space. In cold weather, it flows from heated rooms to the unheated attic, garage or basement, or to the outdoors. In hot weather, heat flows from outside your home to its interior. To maintain comfort, the heat lost in winter must be replaced by your heating system, and the heat gained in summer must be removed by your air conditioner. Insulation resists the flow of heat, preventing unwanted circulation. Thus, in a well-insulated house, rooms stay warmer in winter, cooler in summer, with less energy expenditure.
