Energy Dollars in the Attic

While often forgotten, the coldest part of your home in the winter – and the hottest area in the summer – is the attic. Which means attic insulation plays a big role in keeping you comfortable all year long. But, attic insulation does more than just provide comfort. Here are the other benefits to a properly insulated attic:

Reduce your energy usage
Because insulation keeps your home cooler in the summer and warmer  in the winter, your HVAC system doesn’t need to work as hard – which means lower energy use. 

Improved air quality
Old insulation that has been exposed to moisture over the years can become a breeding ground for mold and other toxins. You can stop the moisture cycle by replacing your insulation.

Increased home value
Like most home upgrades, a home that features new attic insulation can attract buyers for the comfort, energy-savings and air quality it provides.
