 Did you know that proper home insulation can keep your energy bills down, both winter and summer, keep your house more comfortable, and keep it quieter?
Every homeowner is faced with energy bills - whether they are electricity, natural gas, oil, or a combination - and I'll bet every one of those homeowners wish they paid less. How about you?
Many people are simply unaware that they have a measure of control over their home energy usage and do have opportunities to significantly reduce their bills - both heating and cooling. Some simply resign themselves to paying higher and higher energy bills to keep their homes at a comfortable temperature.
Sure, you can turn your lights off when you're not in the room, try not to use the dishwasher too often, maybe reduce hot water temperature. Every little bit helps for sure, but these are relatively small benefits compared to proper insulation.
So ... Why Should You Insulate Your Home?
According to the Department of Energy, heating and cooling - space conditioning - account for 50% to 70% of the energy used in the average American home. About 20% is for heating water and lighting, appliances, and everything else accounts for only 10% to 30%.
So, you can see how home insulation addresses the highest area of energy cost - heating and cooling.
Even if you are living in a newer home, adding insulation should help reduce your energy bills. Even home insulation in newer houses may not be adequate, unless special attention was paid to energy efficient construction methods.
