Insulating your home is one of the best ways to improve HVAC efficiency, save on energy bills, and maintain a comfortable temperature inside. Re-insulating may not be your first option, but there are many benefits to updating the insulation in your home. So, when is the best time to re-insulate your home? We recommend spring, and here’s why!
Stay Cool This Summer
Most people know that insulation works to keep heat in your home during the colder months. But – did you know that insulation also keeps the outdoor heat from entering your home in the summer? If you noticed that your home was exceptionally cool this winter, now is the perfect time to consider re-insulating before it gets too warm. Schedule an evaluation and have your insulation inspected to ensure your home is the perfect temperature all year round.
Save on Energy Costs
During the spring, the weather is generally nice for a few months, before it gets really hot. This is the perfect time to re-insulate your home. In the summer, most people run their air conditioning all day and night. Plan ahead and have your home reinsulated to save on energy bills in the long run. A fully insulated crawlspace will keep hot air out, keep cool air in, and will save your HVAC system from having to work so hard. This also means your insulation will be in good shape when winter rolls around, as your home will be able to keep warm air from escaping, and keep the cool air from coming in.
Reduce Allergens
Without the proper insulation, you are at risk of allergens, particles, and bacteria infiltrating your home. This means that dust and pollen will quickly and easily accumulate inside, making allergy symptoms much worse. With updated insulation in your crawlspace, you can keep allergy season to a minimum, and enjoy clean, fresh air in your home. Consider new insulation and prioritize healthy indoor air quality this spring.
