We often take for granted how our homes are constructed and why. When it comes to home insulation – how little or how much can affect major parts of our lives including how comfortable we feel in our own home.
Insulation refers to the layer between the inside and the outside of your home. It could be made up of many different materials including:
– Foam
– Mineral wool
– Cellulose
– Fiberglass
Insulation plays an important role in our indoor comfort level. Insulation keeps your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It prevents air flow between rooms which regulates the home temperature.
Air leakage is an issue in any home especially around windows and doors. Insulation helps to prevent that air from escaping. If the air stays in your home your HVAC unit doesn’t have to work as hard to heat or cool thus reducing your utility costs.
Other benefits of insulation include:
– Outside noise control
– Reduced energy consumption is better for the environment
– Lower carbon footprint
– Better resale value of your home
