Benefits of Insulation

How Insulation Works:

An uninsulated home is subject to considerable winter heat losses and summer heat gains.

Insulation is the most effective way to improve the energy efficiency of a home. Insulating a home can save 45–55% of heating and cooling energy.

Insulation in combination with air sealing prevents air leakage into and out of the house. This improves the effectiveness of the insulation greatly and in doing so can reduce an energy bill an additional 25%.

Benefits of Insulation:

  • Comfort is improved year-round
  • Reduces energy cost over 40%
  • It pays for itself in around two to four years
  • There is less need for heating and cooling
  • Saves non-renewable resources
  • Reduces greenhouse gas emissions
  • Virtually eliminates condensation on walls and ceilings
  • Insulation materials can also be used for sound proofing
