ATTIC INSULATION

The specific reasons to replace insulation may vary depending on your home’s condition and location. Older homes often have outdated or inadequate insulation that allows heat to escape during the winter and infiltrate during the summer. Upgrading your insulation can significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs and making your home more comfortable year-round and helps maintain a more stable indoor temperature, reducing your reliance on heating and cooling systems. This, in turn, leads to lower energy bills, saving you money in the long run.

Upgraded insulation can also provide better soundproofing, reducing noise from outside and between different rooms in your home. Improved insulation can help control moisture and reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth, which can have a positive impact on indoor air quality and the health of the occupants.

A well-insulated home is more attractive to potential buyers, and it can increase the resale value of your older home. Prospective buyers are often willing to pay more for a property that is energy-efficient and comfortable.

In some areas, there are government incentives, rebates, or tax credits available for upgrading insulation, making the initial investment more affordable.

We offer free energy audits to assess your home’s insulation needs and determine the most cost-effective and beneficial upgrades for your particular situation.
