Lower Your Energy Bill
Attic insulation is one important way you can lower your energy bills and make your home more green. The attic is often one of the easiest places to add insulation to your home, making it a great place to start when making weatherizing changes for any season. Insulating your attic can help prevent air from escaping the house and stop outside air from coming in.
Why Insulate Your Attic
Heating and cooling costs account for up to 50-70 percent of the energy used in an average home. This means that losing your home’s hot or cold air makes for a huge energy waste. Taking steps to prevent this loss is very important when thinking of ways to make your home more green. Any area where you can prevent wasting energy is always an important area to focus on.
Adding insulation to your attic helps reduce your energy costs by lowering the amount of energy you need to keep you home at a comfortable level. Because any changes in your home’s temperature must be fought against by your heating and air conditioning units, leaving spaces where drastic changes can happen makes your home vulnerable to higher energy usage and costs.
How Insulation Works
Air naturally flows from a warm area to a cold one. During the winter months, warm air in your home tries to escape to the cooler air outside, and during the summer months warm air outside tries to make it’s way inside to the cooler air in your home. Outlying rooms such as attics, basements, and garages are all places where this air change can happen the most easily. From there, the air begins to make its way into the rest of the home.
Insulation works by limiting air movement within the home. The still air trapped in the insulation works to help prevent the heat from escaping from one place to the next.
