How Insulation Saves Energy
It is widely known that insulation is one of the most important aspects of a home because of the temperature regulation that it provides. But how does it work? This blog answers that question!

The chief service that insulation provides is acting as a buffer between your home and the outdoors. Insulation does two things to achieve this: creates space in your walls and fails to conduct temperature, meaning that the temperature outside and inside stays in its place! One of our home energy assessments can tell you if you need an upgrade to keep your home energy efficient. If your home temperature is managed by a duct system, insulation allows your ducts to hold temperature, letting them efficiently transfer air from one place to another! To find out if your ducts are allowing your home to be energy efficient, ask us to perform one of our home energy audits! Believe it or not, every home has little, unnoticeable air gaps that allow the air inside to escape. Insulation can help to seal those little gaps in windows and other areas of your home to allow your home to hold temperature, utilizing less energy to heat or cool your home. When it comes to insulation in the attic, the outside material of the insulation is made to reflect heat energy away from the home. The sun supplies a lot of heat in the summer and the temperature outside drops precipitously in the winter. The metallic cover over attic insulation can reflect that energy, protecting your home from temperature fluctuations!
