Many people think that an investment in insulation will only yield a great return in winter months. Yet these improvements can offer a great impact in the summer as well.
The number one benefit is keeping your conditioned, cooled air inside of your house. By bolstering your homes insulation, and performing selective air sealing and other weatherization practices, you effectively contain a maximum amount of your homes conditioned air.
Cool air can escape your home through drafty windows, doors, poorly insulated ducts, and other knooks and crannies in your home. Furthermore, a poorly insulated attic space will cause your top floors to be warmer as heat radiates through. These problems can not only be uncomfortable, but also cause your air conditioning system to run harder and longer. And the harder and longer your equipment is running, the higher your utility bills will be.
A properly insulated, sealed, and ventilated home will also take far less time to reach the optimal temperature in summer months. All of these are great reasons to consider assessing your home's needs sooner rather than later.
