Why Adequate Insulation Is So Important

For some reason, certain homeowners tend to think of insulation more in its role during the winter season: keeping the heat in your home where it belongs. This is, of course, a wildly irresponsible way to look at the matter, as insulation is every bit as integral to your comfort in the summertime: in fact, considering how intensely hot our summers can be, it may be even more pertinent during this time of year. Regardless of how hot or cold it may be outside, the purpose of insulation remains the same: to prevent heat transfer.

This means that it is your insulation that is largely responsible for the heat of the summer season from infiltrating your home. During the winter, when you are heating your home, insulation prevents that heat from leaking outside. This is due to the fact that heat will naturally try to move from a warmer climate to a cooler one. This natural tendency requires a heat barrier to maintain a comfortable living environment in your home, as well as to keep your HVAC system working efficiently.

There are a few types of insulation that may be used. Most homeowners are familiar with batt insulation, the fluffy type you may see in wall cavities, basements, or in your attic. However, when adding insulation to existing or uniquely shaped spaces, you may be better off utilizing blown-in fiberglass insulation. Regardless of the type of insulation used, it must be of the right efficiency and expertly installed. That is where our fine technicians come in.
