4 Reasons to Insulate Your Home Before Winter

Was your home a bit chilly last winter? Did you bundle up like a kid in a snowsuit just to watch TV?

Now reverse that thinking for this past summer. Was your house as cool as you’d like it to be or did you work up a sweat just brushing your teeth?

And here’s the key question: Are your energy bills still high even though your comfort level is low?

You can change all that and have a more comfortable winter (and summer) if you insulate your Cherry Hill, NJ area home now. Act before the snow flies and reap all the benefits of a well-insulated home all year long.

Why Insulate Now?

There are several good reasons to invest in new insulation and air sealing, but the four immediate and primary benefits are:

1. Lower utility bills

When your HVAC systems are working efficiently, they’re able to do more with less energy—and at a lower cost to you—than older, more inefficient systems. And when your home is well insulated and sealed, the air you’re heating or cooling stays in your house where you need it most.

1. A more comfortable home

Imagine leaving one window open all winter long. All the gaps in your home, including vents, attic doors, chimneys and more, can add up to the same thing. The same gaps that let your warm, cozy air out in winter will also let the frigid air in. Quality insulation and air sealing will stop those leaks for a higher level of comfort and home health.

1. Even temperatures throughout your house

The boys’ room is cold, the girls’ room is stuffy and the den blows hot and cold with the weather. Stop uneven heating and cooling and enjoy stable temperatures all through your home with complete weatherization, including proper insulation from the attic to the basement and everywhere in between.

1. Reduced air infiltration

Along with pointing out inefficiencies that add to the cost of utilities, a home energy assessment will identify any indoor pollutants your home may harbor. These can come in from the outside, like pollen and exhaust, or can originate inside your home, like carbon monoxide, radon, mold and pet dander. Proper weatherization in addition to appropriate ventilation will minimize your risk of exposure to these toxins for a healthier, safer home environment.
