Why Quality of Home Insulation is Worth the Investment

Insulation is vital to keep your home warm and energy efficient; this will help reduce your energy cost. It works by acting as a barrier and keeping your home cool during the summer and warm in the winter.

When selecting your home's insulation, be sure to consider the climate in your area and the specific aspects of your house. Here's some advice to consider:

Insulation Types

Material, function, and the best site can be different. There is more information on various kinds on NAIMA Canada's website.

Why Solid Home Insulation Is Important

Environmentally Friendly

Nearly 17 percent of the energy is used for heating. Insulating your home can reduce power consumption for heating and air cooling. This helps reduce greenhouse emissions and your carbon footprint.

A More Comfortable Home

The more well-insulated your home is, the better it is for you and the people living there. Installing quality insulation in walls and attics reduces the summer heat and frigidity in winter.

Money-Saving

Many homes were constructed during the time that electricity was not as expensive. In the end, there was little (if even any) insulation installed. Making sure that your house is well-insulated is a good method to reduce the cost of water and save money.

Noise Reduction

Insulation lessens both indoor and outdoor noise. Beware of cars passing by and your neighbors having a party or fighting, and reduce the noise inside while your children enjoy entertainment in the family room.

When You Should Remove Insulation

• Dirty or old insulation makes an inefficient heating system. Rooms with poor insulation will have different temperatures than the rest of the home. In addition, wet insulation can increase the possibility of mold and condensation. This is the time to replace and remove insulation:
• It is composed of fibrous substances (such as cellulose and fiberglass), which promote condensation and hold moisture.
• There are signs of rodents or pests (e.g., droppings, chewed-up insulation, scents of urine).
• It's gotten wet, promoting mold growth and allergens, along with musty smells.

The maintenance of the insulation in your home is a wise investment. Ask for the assistance of experts to find the kind of insulation that is best suited to your house.
