Of the many ways homeowners can cut their energy costs, focusing on the attic is often ignored. Considering it’s the coldest space in your home during the winter and the hottest in the summer, there’s plenty of potential to conserve energy and cuts costs by insulating and ventilating it properly. At Willard Cooling, Heating, Plumbing, & Electrical, we have more than three decades of experience installing attic insulation and helping homeowners maximize their home’s energy efficiency.
Insulation in the Attic Reduces Heat Loss
Since heat naturally moves from warmer spaces to cooler ones, it always moves in the wrong direction and creates issues for energy efficiency and home comfort. During the winter, your HVAC system pumps heat into your home that eventually rises into the attic. If the attic isn’t properly insulated, the air leaks through the ceiling and into the cold outdoors. As a result, your heater operates for longer to compensate for the loss, which leads to higher utility bills. Insulating an attic stops the transfer of heat from your home to the outdoors and saves you money.
Save Energy and Money with Additional Insulation
According to the United States Department of Energy, insulating your attic in accordance with today’s recommendations can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 50 percent, especially if you also seal the leaks in the attic. When you contact us, one of our Comfort Advisors can help determine how to insulate your attic for maximum efficiency.
