Do you feel a draft in your house? Is it cold in winter and hot in summer no matter how hard the air is blowing? You may have an insulation problem.

Having poor insulation in your home can cost you a fortune. While you are burning the heat in the winter, it is going straight out and the air is coming in everywhere, which means you are wasting all that money for nothing. With proper insulation, you can reduce your heating and cooling bills to a fraction of what you are spending right now.

Start with the ceiling. Obviously, the heat increases. When you heat your home, all the heat rises and expands outward, which means it leaves your home and is replaced by cold air from outside. If you just insulate your roof without even starting with the rest of the house, you could already be saving an incredible amount of money. In the summer, heat can enter through the roof and seep through all the cracks and heat the fresh air in your home so that it has patches of cold air and the rest is hot or hot air. Your air conditioner may not be broken. It could well be your isolation.

Crawling spaces can let in unwanted air because they are not insulated. Vents and pipes leave uninsulated holes all over the place that allow air to enter the house from the floor.

Light fixtures also let in air because the hole around the cable entry is not insulated.

The window panes are the same. Those are the most common. If you don’t have insulated shutters or window frames, those are the most common ways to heat and freeze your home.

Insulating your home with spray foam is the newest and best way to go. Lasts longer and makes sure to cover all holes completely with no rivets or cracks on the normal base type.

You may pay more initially, but over time you will save more due to heating and air conditioning bills and also increase the value of your home. Since spray foam lasts a lifetime, you’ll essentially pay less because you don’t have to re-insulate. You can find a professional contracting company to help you with your insulation and offer you the best possible price to ensure happiness and comfort in your own home.
