Fact: Insulation is the most basic, cost-effective way to lower your home’s energy usage and improve the comfort level of your home.

Heat flows naturally from a warm place to a cooler space. In the winter, heated air will try to flow to an unheated garage, basement or attic. Conversely, in warm months, heat will try to flow from the outdoors into the cool interior of the home. The majority of this heat transfer in home takes place in the attic.

It is the role of insulation to prevent this unwanted circulation throughout your home. Combined with proper ventilation, proper insulation helps your home maintain a comfortable, uniform temperature throughout the year with significantly less use of heating and cooling systems. As a bonus, insulation also acts as a sound absorber, and helps make your home quieter.
