Increase in Comfort
It’s almost a matter of common knowledge that the proper insulation will help keep your home warmer in the winter months, but what you may not know is that proper attic insulation can also help to keep your home cooler during the heat waves of the summer.
Insulation essentially creates a barricade effect that won't allow the drastic differences in air temperature outside of your home invade the inside – so the warmth given off by your heating system and the cool air distributed by your air conditioner can do their jobs as efficiently and effectively as possible, regardless of the air temperature outside of your home.
Saving Money
In conjunction with the increase in comfort that you’ll enjoy, a properly insulated attic will also help to save you a good deal of money on your energy bills.
By creating a seal with insulation and preventing the outside elements from intruding into your home, both your heating and your cooling systems will have to work a lot less to produce the same results.
Using less of the resources that are necessary to heat and cool your home, whether your systems are powered by electricity, by natural gas, or by home heating oil – the more money you will be able to save
Increasing the Value of Your Home
Having a properly insulated attic, even if you currently have no little or no insulation probably won’t be a very large expense at all, but it will certainly add to the value of your home. Having the proof of the energy efficiency of your house by holding onto low energy bills to show to potential buyers is a great way to add value to your home. Potential buyers in the current housing market are looking for every possible advantage that one home may have over another – and low utility bills are certainly a big advantage.
Having a properly insulated attic may not be an absolute necessity, you’ll probably be able to live in your home with
sub-par or even no insulation in the attic, but the benefits that will come along with proper attic insulation are well
worth the cost and effort to make the improvement.
