Reduce Energy Bills with Insulation

With cold winter weather and high heating costs on the horizon, now is an ideal time to improve home insulation. Whether your goal is to reduce your energy bills or contribute to a greener environment, re-insulating your home can be a great investment with significant savings and tax credits*.

Spray foam insulation to cut your energy costs by reducing energy loss in the envelope of your home, a process known as the Stack Effect. This happens when heated air rises through walls, ceilings, and floors while cooler air sinks. Insulation prevents this energy loss and keeps the warm air where it should be: in your living spaces and bedrooms.

Besides lowering energy costs, improving your insulation also extends the lifespan of heating and cooling systems by helping to maintain a consistent temperature throughout your home. This lowers maintenance costs and lessens the need for costly replacements, further lowering your energy costs.

One of the easiest ways to improve your home’s insulation is by simply replacing caulking and weather stripping around doors, windows and vents. Another great DIY option is spray foam insulation. This acts as both an insulation and an air sealant, closing the nooks and crannies where energy leaks through.

You can also perform a simple home energy audit using a thermal camera, thermometer or a blower door test to locate areas of your home that need improvement. The EPA estimates that homeowners can save up to 15% on energy bills by sealing and adding insulation in attics, wall cavities, floor over crawl spaces, and basements.
